Summary of the contracting process

City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council procured recyclable liners for food-waste kitchen caddies. The requirement is for goods used in the collection and handling of household food waste, with delivery across Yorkshire and the Humber. The procurement is therefore relevant to manufacturers and distributors of recyclable refuse sacks, food-waste caddy liners, compostable or recyclable packaging, and associated waste-collection consumables. Suppliers serving local-authority waste services may also find the requirement relevant, particularly where they can provide consistent product supply and distribution across the area. The named buyer is Bradford Council, based at Britannia House, Hall Ings, Bradford. The published classification describes composting services, although the tender title and description identify the purchase as recyclable liners rather than a service.

The procurement has been awarded following a selective restricted procedure. Bids closed on 10 June 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded to Cromwell Polythene Ltd on 24 August 2026 for £67,500. The contract period runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2029. The tender was classified as a goods purchase and was treated as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The available process information identifies the requirement as a single purchase covering recyclable liners for food-waste kitchen caddies, delivered in Yorkshire and the Humber. The award is active, with Cromwell Polythene Ltd named as the selected supplier. No separate lots or alternative award values are identified.

This procurement shows established demand from Bradford Council for recyclable liners used in food-waste kitchen caddies, at a scale suited to a supplier able to support a local-authority requirement over several years. The selected supplier is a large business, and the opportunity was assessed as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, indicating that future competitors would need credible production or wholesale capacity, dependable stock availability and the ability to manage regular distribution across Yorkshire and the Humber. Relevant businesses should be able to demonstrate suitable recyclable liner products, consistent quality and reliable fulfilment for council waste-collection operations. Manufacturers, specialist packaging distributors and suppliers already serving municipal or environmental-services customers are the clearest comparator group when this buyer's requirement returns to market.
