Summary of the contracting process

South Yorkshire Fire & Rescue procured estate-wide waste management services for all its sites in Sheffield and across the South Yorkshire Fire & Rescue estate. The requirement covers collection and management of general waste, recyclable waste, recycled glass and recycled food waste, together with ad hoc collections of other waste products when required. This is a waste and refuse-related service under CPV 90500000, rather than a supply of equipment or construction work. The buying organisation is South Yorkshire Fire & Rescue, based at 197 Eyre Street, Sheffield. The opportunity is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to waste operators with the operational reach and service model needed to support multiple public-sector sites.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. It used a selective call-off from the YPO 879 Building Support Services framework, Lot 8. Bids closed at noon on 3 July 2026, and the contract was awarded to Biffa Waste Services Ltd on 3 August 2026. The award value is £115,280, while the procurement's estimated value range is £28,820 to £172,920, all in pounds sterling. The awarded contract runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2032. Evaluation was conducted through the framework call-off process. The requirement was treated as a services contract and covers the full estate-wide scope rather than separately identified lots. The award is active.

This award demonstrates an established, long-term requirement for coordinated waste services across a fire and rescue estate, including routine general, recycling, glass and food-waste streams alongside responsive handling of other waste. A credible future competitor would need to manage multiple sites reliably, organise scheduled collections across the South Yorkshire estate and respond to ad hoc requests without disrupting fire and rescue operations. The service model also requires practical capability across different waste types, including segregation and recycling arrangements for glass and food waste. Smaller waste businesses may be well placed to compete if they can demonstrate sufficient geographic coverage, fleet and staffing capacity, dependable service management and experience delivering consistent multi-site services for a public-sector buyer.
