Summary of the contracting process

North Northamptonshire Council procured household distribution services for food waste caddies. The work covers delivering food waste caddies to individual households, within the wider distribution and collection of refuse and recycling products. It is a service requirement managed through the YPO Refuse and Recycling Products framework, specifically its distribution and collection lot. Delivery is in the East Midlands, for households served by North Northamptonshire Council. The requirement is relevant to distribution, logistics and household-delivery businesses able to manage coordinated deliveries at scale. It may also suit smaller businesses and voluntary, community or social enterprises, as the procurement was identified as suitable for SMEs and VCSEs. The requirement concerns operational delivery rather than the manufacture of food waste caddies or broader waste-management services.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a selective call-off from the YPO Refuse and Recycling Products framework. The tender deadline was 5 June 2026 at 4pm, and the contract was awarded to Jett Distribution on 30 June 2026. The awarded value is £172,000 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 10 August 2026 to 4 October 2026. Only suppliers identified as relevant on the framework were eligible to participate. The award is active and covers the full household food waste caddy distribution requirement. The procurement was categorised as a service and used the framework’s lot for distribution and collection of refuse and recycling products to or from individual households, including container recycling.

For a supplier that did not win this contract, the award provides a clear example of North Northamptonshire Council’s demand for short-term, household-facing distribution of waste and recycling products. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need proven experience delivering items directly to individual households, with the operational capacity to plan routes, handle volumes, maintain delivery records and complete the work across the East Midlands. Framework access is important because this council used a call-off route restricted to suppliers identified under the relevant YPO framework lot. Businesses should therefore assess whether their distribution capability, household-delivery systems and framework position match this requirement. The procurement also indicates that the council is prepared to consider SME and VCSE suppliers with suitable experience and capacity.
