Summary of the contracting process

Swale Borough Council procured outdoor litter bins for delivery in the South East of England. The requirement was for 10 blue bins and 200 black galvanised-steel bins with a 145-litre capacity. Each bin is to have a slightly peaked lid, an ashtray on top, and the words “Litter and Dog Waste” in gold on all four sides. Concrete plinths are also required to weigh the bins down. This is a goods requirement for manufactured street-furniture and waste-management equipment, classified under CPV 39224340 for bins. The specified design combines public-space litter collection, dog-waste messaging and physical stability, making it relevant to manufacturers and suppliers of outdoor bins, street furniture and associated installation or anchoring components.

The procurement is complete and was awarded following a selective further competition under the YPO Fitted Furniture, Libraries, Residential and Outdoor Furniture Framework (1244), using a framework call-off. The tender deadline was 30 June 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded to Broxap Limited on 1 July 2026 for £43,890 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 2 July 2026 to 1 July 2027. The award covers the full bin supply requirement described above. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The procurement record does not state a separate evaluation weighting or scoring basis.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from Swale Borough Council for branded, durable outdoor litter bins in two colours and a substantial volume of 145-litre units. Suppliers best placed for a comparable requirement would be manufacturers or specialist distributors able to produce galvanised-steel bins with peaked lids, integral ashtrays, four-sided gold lettering and concrete plinths. Credibility would depend on reliably matching the required specification across different quantities and colour options, maintaining consistent finish and lettering, and coordinating delivery of bulky outdoor equipment to the South East. SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises were considered suitable, so smaller specialist manufacturers, fabricators and public-realm equipment suppliers may be able to compete through the relevant framework route.
