Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Sevenoaks District Council procured wheeled household waste bins for delivery in the South East. The order covered four specifications: 50,400 180-litre bins with grey bodies and grey lids; 50,204 240-litre bins with grey bodies and green lids; 1,000 140-litre bins with grey bodies and grey lids; and 1,000 140-litre bins with grey bodies and green lids. This is a goods contract for waste and rubbish containers and bins (CPV 34928480), intended to supply the council’s refuse collection service with wheeled bins in different capacities and lid colours.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to IPL Plastics (UK) Ltd. The award was made on 9 April 2026. The awarded value was £1,793,743.60. The contract period runs from 1 July to 30 October 2026. Bids closed on 8 April 2026. The published information identifies the goods and contract value but gives no award-scoring criteria or detailed procurement procedure, so the basis for selecting the supplier cannot be described further. The purchase was handled as one requirement, with four bin specifications rather than separately described lots. The council marked the opportunity as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and suitable for voluntary, community and social enterprises.

For suppliers considering similar Sevenoaks District Council requirements, this award demonstrates demand for a substantial, mixed-specification supply of wheeled bins, rather than a small or single-product order. A credible competitor would need the manufacturing or sourcing capacity to provide large quantities in several sizes, together with control over body and lid colours, and the logistics to deliver the full order to the South East within a defined contract period. The selected supplier was a large business, indicating the scale of supplier that fulfilled this requirement, although the award does not establish that only large firms can compete. Businesses specialising in wheeled waste containers and able to manage high-volume production, product specification and coordinated delivery are the closest fit.
