Summary of the contracting process

Cardiff Council has overseen a procurement process for the "Transportation and Processing of Residential Dry Mixed Recyclables," worth £4,546,768 (gross), within the sewage, refuse, cleaning, and environmental services industry. Although the contract was initially planned and active during 2025, ending with completion and cancellation in January 2026 due to changes in requirements, noting a re-tender set for early 2026. The procurement was conducted using an open procedure, with submissions accepted electronically in English and Welsh, relevant to the UKL22 region in Cardiff. The initial call was open until 5th September 2025, with awards anticipated by 22nd September 2025.

This tender offers substantial business growth opportunities, specifically for SMEs and VCSEs capable of delivering comprehensive waste transportation and recycling services. Companies adept at managing large-scale environmental services can leverage the anticipated re-tender to secure government contracts. The open procedure approach further simplifies entry for competitive businesses eager to partner with municipal authorities like Cardiff Council. Being positioned for the re-tender in early 2026 can provide strategic growth by securing long-term services contracts with potential extensions into the late 2020s, ensuring steady revenues in a fundamental public service sector.
