Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for Waste Management Services is being conducted by Associated British Ports, headquartered in London. This tender falls under the industry category of refuse and waste-related services (CPV: 90500000) and is currently in the tender update stage. It involves a negotiated procedure with a prior call for competition, amending the previous competitive dialogue approach. The procurement spans multiple UK locations, including Humber, Wales, and East Anglia, among others, with each area operating as a separate lot. The total value of the contract is estimated at £4,000,000, and the contract period will run from 1 November 2025 to 1 November 2028, with the possibility of renewal. Key dates include the tender period ending on 3 March 2025 and the invitation for the second stage set for 21 March 2025.

This tender presents substantial business growth opportunities for companies specialising in waste management services, particularly those capable of handling refuse collection across various locations in the UK. The procurement process is selective, favouring suppliers who meet specific suitability criteria outlined in the Pre-Qualification Questionnaire (PQQ) and Invitation to Tender (ITN) documents. Businesses with experience in large-scale waste management and the ability to offer competitive bids via electronic submission stand to benefit significantly from this tender. The structured division into lots offers further opportunities for niche suppliers to capitalise on regional contracts tailored to their existing capabilities.
