Summary of the contracting process

South Gloucestershire Council procured waste haulage services for the West of England Partners: Bath and North East Somerset Council, Bristol City Council, North Somerset Council and South Gloucestershire Council. The requirement is to transport waste and materials from transfer stations to waste processing sites, other transfer stations and other required locations. This is a services contract covering refuse and waste-related haulage, delivered across England and particularly the West of England partner area. It was structured as a Waste Haulage Dynamic Purchasing System supplier list, with the recorded procurement referring to call-off contracts in round one. The opportunity is relevant to operators providing waste transport, transfer-station logistics and haulage support for local authority waste services.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 11 July 2025 using a selective procedure for a Waste Haulage Dynamic Purchasing System supplier list. The estimated procurement value was £4,000,000. Five suppliers were awarded places: Alan Price & Sons Ltd, Bulk Freight (Midlands) Ltd, ETM Recycling Ltd, Grundon Waste Management Limited, and Smiths (Gloucester) Ltd. The round-one award value was £638,035, covering all five suppliers together. The awarded contract period runs from 2 August 2025 to 2 August 2026. The wider contract period for the procurement runs from 2 August 2025 to 31 July 2028. The published data records the process as complete and the award as active.

This award demonstrates recurring council demand for contractors able to move waste and transfer-station materials reliably between local authority facilities, processing sites and other destinations. Suppliers well placed for a future requirement would have an established waste haulage operation, suitable vehicles and equipment, trained drivers, route-planning and scheduling capability, and the capacity to manage variable loads and destinations across the West of England. Experience of working with councils, transfer stations and waste processing operators would strengthen credibility, as would robust systems for compliance, safe handling, vehicle maintenance, environmental controls and service reporting. The procurement was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so specialist regional operators may be able to compete alongside larger waste management businesses.
