Summary of the contracting process

Staffordshire County Council procured the supply of food waste caddy liners for delivery in the West Midlands. The requirement is for polythene waste and refuse sacks and bags, specifically liners used in food waste caddies. This is a goods procurement rather than a service or works contract. The council is the buying organisation and the arrangement is intended to provide the physical consumables needed for its food waste caddy provision. The scope is focused on supplying the liners themselves, rather than managing collections, operating waste facilities or delivering wider waste-management services. Businesses specialising in the manufacture, wholesale supply or distribution of polythene refuse sacks, waste bags and food waste caddy liners are the most directly relevant suppliers.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 18 June 2026 at 12:00. Staffordshire County Council awarded the contract to CROMWELL POLYTHENE LTD on 1 September 2026, for GBP 250,000. The contract period runs from 14 September 2026 to 31 August 2028. The awarded value is the value for this contract and is not a total across multiple lots or suppliers. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. Evaluation details are not stated in the procurement information.

For suppliers that did not win this award, the procurement demonstrates a defined requirement from Staffordshire County Council for food waste caddy liners and a substantial, multi-year supply arrangement. A credible future competitor would need dependable production or sourcing of polythene liners, consistent product quality, and the capacity to fulfil repeat orders throughout the contract term. Distribution capability in the West Midlands would be relevant, as would reliable logistics, stock management and customer service for a council-scale buyer. The award also shows that a small or medium-sized business can be selected for this type of requirement. Suppliers should be able to participate through a framework call-off route and demonstrate that they can provide the specified waste-bag products at the required volume and commercial scale.
