Summary of the contracting process

Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust procured healthcare waste disposal services covering alternative treatment, high-temperature incineration and disposal of sharps-container waste. The requirement is for managing and treating clinical waste generated by the Trust, with delivery identified in Leeds. This is a specialist healthcare waste service rather than a general waste collection contract, encompassing both treatment routes and sharps containers. The procurement sits within the waste incineration services category (CPV 90513300).

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Sharpsmart Limited. The Trust used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The estimated contract value was £322,355.56, with a stated minimum value of £268,629.64; the awarded value is £322,355.56. The award was dated 28 September 2026. The contract period runs from 1 July 2026 to 31 December 2026. Bids were due by 1 June 2026. The requirement was presented as a single package covering the specified healthcare waste streams. The data records that the opportunity was not suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises.

For suppliers preparing to compete for this Trust’s future healthcare waste requirement, the award shows demand for a combined service covering alternative treatment, high-temperature incineration and sharps-container disposal. Credible providers will need the operational capability to handle these distinct clinical waste streams and deliver appropriate treatment and disposal for a large hospital trust. The framework call-off route and the stated lack of suitability for SMEs indicate that scale and the ability to participate through the relevant framework are important commercial considerations. A supplier should be able to demonstrate reliable healthcare waste operations across the required treatment methods and sharps handling, rather than offer general waste services alone. Sharpsmart Limited was selected for this package.
