Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Birmingham City Council has successfully completed the contracting process for the "Processing of Paper and Card" project within the refuse and waste-related services category, primarily situated in the Birmingham area. This process was an open procedure, beginning with the invitation to tender issued on 15th November 2024 and concluding with the contract award to Smurfit Westrock UK Ltd on 1st April 2025. The scope of the contract spans three years, with an option to extend for an additional two years, ensuring the recycling of collected paper and card. Initially active from 16th December 2024, the tender was valued at GBP 5,750,000 and governed under the CELEX legal basis, with a strong emphasis on quality, social value, and price as award criteria.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for large-scale waste management and recycling firms capable of delivering high-quality services. Companies with expertise in providing sustainable waste management solutions and those experienced in working with regional authorities will find this contract particularly advantageous. The involvement of only two electronic bids indicates potential opportunities for businesses new to this field or looking to expand operational footprints in the UK waste management sector, particularly in collaboration with local councils. The process, requiring submissions through Birmingham Council's e-tendering system, favours firms that are familiar with digital tendering platforms.
