Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process titled "EA - National Ops Waste" involves the Environment Agency as the buying organisation. This tender focuses on providing services related to facilities management, specifically the hire, collection, transport, treatment, and compliant disposal of diverse waste streams across the United Kingdom. The industry falls within facilities management services with a CPV classification of 79993100. The contract has been awarded as of 23rd June 2026, with a contract period from 1st July 2026 to 30th June 2029. It covers regions including the East Midlands, East of England, London, North East, North West, South East, South West, West Midlands, and Yorkshire and the Humber. The procurement was conducted using a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system in a selective manner.

This tender presents opportunities for growth particularly for businesses specialising in waste management and environmental services. Given the substantial contract value of £7,500,000 over the three-year period, it offers significant revenue opportunities to established companies that have capabilities in handling large-scale waste disposal needs. However, it is not currently positioned for SMEs or VCSEs. Acumen Waste Services Limited was awarded the contract, indicating this opportunity is best suited for businesses with a robust infrastructure capable of managing nationwide waste services and adhering to compliance standards.
