Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process involves Essex County Council seeking to procure contracts for the provision of several new pedestrian access steps and various sizes of waste containers to support the RCHW sites within the waste service. The procurement covers two lots: Lot 1 for containers, including twelve 15-cubic yard open containers and ten 30-cubic yard enclosed plasterboard containers, and Lot 2 for up to ten new pedestrian access steps. The industry category falls under construction structures and materials. The procurement stage is currently at the Award stage, with contracts signed on 10 January 2025. The value of the contract for containers is £102,450, and for access steps, it is £47,000. Delivery is to the UKH region, and the procurement method used is an open procedure.

This tender creates growth opportunities for manufacturers and suppliers of construction materials and related products, specifically those experienced in producing containers and access steps. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) such as Ridgeway Manufacturing Ltd and Oxborrow Engineering Limited, which have already been awarded the contracts, highlight the feasibility for other SMEs to compete successfully. Businesses specialising in waste management infrastructure, compliance, and safety will find this tender particularly well-suited to their capabilities. Engaging in such public sector contracts supports business visibility and provides a stable revenue stream, contributing to sustained business growth.
