Summary of the contracting process

Hartpury College is procuring total waste management services for Hartpury University and Hartpury College of Further Education. The requirement covers the collection and management of the organisation’s waste, with the aim of promoting sustainable practice and applying the waste hierarchy. The service is intended to help manage waste costs, including by generating income from waste materials, and to support segregated waste management systems. Hartpury also wants collection arrangements that are flexible, straightforward to communicate and able to respond to changes in waste legislation and the wider waste industry. The work is based at Hartpury, near Gloucester, with the procurement classified as refuse and waste-related services (CPV 90500000).

The procurement has reached tender: the buyer invited offers using an open procedure. Bids were due by 8 October 2026 at 17:00, with submissions made through the MultiQuote supplier system. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 January 2027 to 31 December 2029. Its estimated value is £600,000 including the stated currency of GBP. This is a services contract and the opportunity is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The requirement is presented as a single total waste management service rather than separate lots. The published information sets out sustainability, cost management, segregation, flexibility and innovation objectives for the service.

This opportunity suits waste management companies able to provide an end-to-end collection and treatment service for an educational organisation. Relevant capability includes applying the waste hierarchy, operating segregated collection systems and identifying practical ways to recover value from waste materials. Suppliers should be able to adapt collection arrangements as waste legislation, industry practice and the customer’s requirements change. Clear communication will be important, both when explaining collection systems and when managing operational changes. The requirement also favours businesses that can bring sustainable methods and useful innovation rather than relying only on routine disposal services. The procurement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so established regional operators and capable specialist providers may be well placed to compete.
