Summary of the contracting process

Staffordshire County Council has awarded a contract for waste disposal services at the Hanford Energy Recovery Facility. The contract, titled "Contract for Waste Disposal - Hanford Energy Recovery Facility," falls under the refuse and waste related services industry category and serves the North of Staffordshire region in the West Midlands, United Kingdom. This award, dated 10 March 2025, follows a negotiated procedure without prior publication due to its above-threshold nature and is part of a statutory obligation to manage waste disposal for the county. The contract period starts on 1 April 2025 and will run until 31 March 2035, with the total contract valued at £26,700,000. The procurement process was aimed at ensuring continuity of waste disposal solutions in partnership with Stoke on Trent City Council, whose existing arrangement expires in March 2025.

This tender provides significant business growth opportunities for firms specialising in waste management and environmental services. The ten-year duration of the contract allows for stable, long-term engagement and substantial financial prospects. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in waste disposal could find this project particularly promising. Given that the procurement method was a limited, negotiated procedure, businesses with a proven track record in waste-related services and experience in public sector contracts are likely to be well-suited to compete for similar opportunities in the future.
