Summary of the contracting process

Belfast City Council has completed a procurement process titled "T2589 - Collection and Disposal of Hazardous Waste," with the procurement focusing on services related to hazardous waste, asbestos, and car batteries within the Belfast City Council area (UKN06). This procurement process involved an open procedure under the legal basis of the EU Directive 2014/24/EU and adhered to the Government Procurement Agreement (GPA) standards. The contract covers three active lots including the collection of hazardous waste, asbestos removal, and the treatment or re-use of car batteries, with contract periods running for 1080 days, extendable by a further year. The tender stage ended on 25th March 2025, with awards signed in June 2025 to suppliers such as Metcollect and John McQuillan Contracts, highlighting a comprehensive procurement framework that addresses waste management challenges in the region.

This procurement presents substantial business growth opportunities for firms specialising in waste management and environmental services, specifically those capable of handling radioactive, toxic, and hazardous materials, as well as asbestos and automotive waste products. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) like Metcollect, based in Lisburn, exemplify how regionally focused businesses capable of delivering high-quality and socially valuable solutions can effectively compete in tenders of this nature. Companies with expertise in innovative waste treatment technologies, resource management, and sustainable practices may find further opportunities, especially given the contract's allowance for negotiated scaling and added operational requirements. The ongoing demand for effective waste management services opens doors for partnerships, service expansions, and innovative solutions in this vital sector.
