Summary of the contracting process

South Gloucestershire Council procured waste haulage services to transport waste and materials from transfer stations to waste-processing sites, other transfer stations and related locations. The requirement is classified as refuse and waste-related services and is a service contract. Use of the arrangement is open to the West of England partners: Bath and North East Somerset Council, Bristol City Council, North Somerset Council and South Gloucestershire Council. Delivery covers England. The procurement is for contractors able to provide the vehicles, drivers, operational management and compliance arrangements needed to move waste and transfer-station materials between collection, transfer and processing locations. It forms part of the council’s waste-management supply arrangements and is described as a second call-off round linked to an earlier DPS framework notice.

This procurement has been completed and awarded through the second call-off round of a Dynamic Purchasing System supplier list. South Gloucestershire Council awarded the contract to Bulk Freight (Midlands) Ltd on 25 July 2025. The awarded value is £96,940, while the overall estimated procurement value is £400,000; these are separate figures and should not be combined. The awarded contract runs from 2 August 2025 to 1 August 2026. The tender submission deadline was 24 July 2025 at 11:30pm. The procurement is recorded as using an ‘Other’ procedure, with waste haulage services as its main category. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and involved one awarded supplier.

This award provides a clear reference point for haulage businesses targeting public-sector waste logistics in the West of England. A credible future supplier would need proven experience transporting waste and transfer-station materials safely between transfer stations, processing sites and other authorised locations, together with suitable vehicles, drivers, routing capability and operational resilience. Firms should be able to demonstrate compliance with waste-carrier, environmental, health and safety and transport requirements, and the capacity to manage scheduled movements across multiple council areas. The arrangement was identified as suitable for SMEs, so established regional operators and specialist waste-haulage firms may be well placed to compete when comparable requirements return. Experience working for councils or other regulated waste operators would strengthen credibility.
