Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Colchester City Council procured household distribution services for new wheeled bins to residents across Colchester. The requirement covers an estimated 135,000 bins. The supplier’s work is to deliver the bins to individual households; the purchase is associated with wheeled waste and recycling containers. The buyer is Colchester City Council, based in Colchester.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Jett Trade Ltd on 18 March 2026. The council made a direct award through the YPO framework for plastic wheeled bins and other waste products, using its distribution and collection lot for refuse and recycling products delivered to households. The awarded value is £311,000. The contract period runs from 4 May 2026 to 31 March 2027. The tender deadline was 20 March 2026. The published suitability information indicates that the requirement was not considered suitable for SMEs and was considered suitable for voluntary, community and social enterprises.

For suppliers considering comparable work for Colchester City Council, this award demonstrates demand for large-scale delivery of wheeled bins directly to residents’ homes. A credible competitor would need the operational capacity to handle an estimated 135,000 containers and organise reliable household distribution across Colchester. The route used was a direct award through a YPO framework, so familiarity with relevant framework arrangements and the framework’s household distribution and collection category would be commercially pertinent. The published suitability information marked the opportunity as suitable for voluntary, community and social enterprises, but not for SMEs.
