The procurement stage has reached the award phase, with the contract being awarded to Sharpsmart Limited on 13th July 2026. The contract period spans from 1st August 2026 to 31st July 2028. The minimum contract value was stated as £2,025,000, while the awarded value was £2,430,000. The tender initially closed on 1st July 2026, and the award was formally published on 27th July 2026.

This tender represents significant business growth potential for companies specializing in clinical-waste management and related services.

Engaging in such contracts allows businesses to solidify their presence in the healthcare waste management sector and build valuable relationships with major healthcare institutions.
