Summary of the contracting process

The NHS London Procurement Partnership (LPP), hosted by Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust, is in the tender stage for establishing a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for Waste Management Services, which covers refuse and waste-related services. This procurement process, under the open procedure, seeks specialised services including the collection, treatment, recycling, processing, and disposal of various waste streams. It spans all regions in England and the wider UK, catering to domestic, clinical, hazardous, and radioactive waste types. The contract, commencing on 4th January 2022 and running until 17th November 2031, is valued at £2 billion GBP, and offers substantial business opportunities, especially for SMEs within the service industry category.

This tender provides extensive opportunities for businesses specialising in waste management, transportation, and disposal services. It is particularly suited for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) due to the DPS structure, which is split into lots covering specific waste types and bespoke treatment options, allowing firms to bid on their areas of expertise. The dynamic nature of the DPS means that additional specialist lots may be introduced throughout its duration, in response to the procurement organisation's evolving needs and market conditions. Firms with capabilities in handling hazardous and clinical waste, as well as those offering innovative recycling solutions, could leverage this opportunity to expand their operations within the healthcare and public sector realms.
