Summary of the contracting process

Bracknell Forest Borough Council is in the planning stage of a public procurement process titled "Waste Collection," focused on refuse collection and refuse transport services. This is a significant opportunity targeting the local services sector in the UK, specifically in the Bracknell area (UKJ11). The procurement process began with a planned procurement notice issued on 16 April 2025, with a noteworthy date for potential suppliers being the commencement of commissioning for the joint contract to be on 1 September 2026. The procurement aims to align the end dates of existing waste collection, street cleansing, and grounds maintenance contracts by implementing an 18-month transitional contract starting from 1 April 2027 until 30 September 2028.

This procurement provides a substantial opportunity for businesses specialising in waste management, street cleansing, and grounds maintenance to engage in delivering integrated services. The estimated contract value is £4.8 million, making this a lucrative prospect for service providers, including mid-sized entities with capabilities in refuse collection and transport. Companies experienced in managing and delivering high-quality environmental and urban maintenance services will find this contract particularly suitable, helping them expand their portfolio through a prestigious public sector engagement with Bracknell Forest Borough Council.
