Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Newcastle City Council procured food-waste containers for delivery in the North East of England. The requirement covers 140,000 internal food-waste caddies and 110,000 external food-waste bins, classified as waste and rubbish containers and bins (CPV 34928480). This is a goods supply contract rather than a works or services requirement. The buyer is Newcastle City Council, based at the Civic Centre in Newcastle upon Tyne. The scale indicates a substantial manufacturing, sourcing and distribution requirement for household or community food-waste collection equipment. Suppliers relevant to this opportunity would include manufacturers, distributors and specialist waste-container providers able to supply both indoor caddies and outdoor bins in the required quantities.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a selective restricted procedure above the threshold. Bids had to be submitted by 15 June 2026 at 11:00. Newcastle City Council awarded the contract to The Compost Bag Company on 22 July 2026. The award value is £667,000 (excluding any further detail not stated in the procurement data). The contract runs from 25 August 2026 to 24 February 2028. The requirement was treated as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and the award is recorded as active. The selected supplier is The Compost Bag Company, an SME based in Leyland, Lancashire. The process concerns one combined supply requirement for internal caddies and external bins.

For suppliers assessing future work with Newcastle City Council, this award demonstrates established demand for large-volume food-waste collection containers delivered across the North East. A credible competitor would need to manufacture or source both internal caddies and external bins, maintain reliable supply capacity for hundreds of thousands of units, and coordinate distribution to the required delivery area. Experience in municipal waste, recycling or household collection equipment would support a competitive proposition, alongside robust quality control, packaging and logistics arrangements. The requirement was suitable for SMEs, showing that a business of modest scale could compete if it can demonstrate dependable production, fulfilment and public-sector contract performance. The successful supplier’s specialism in compostable and waste-related products may also indicate the value of relevant environmental-sector expertise.
