Summary of the contracting process

Staffordshire County Council has undertaken a comprehensive procurement process aimed at securing a framework agreement for the provision of contingency residual waste disposal services. The procurement, initiated in June 2025, adheres to an open procedure and has reached completion with contracts signed on 22nd December 2025. The buying organisation, based in Staffordshire, United Kingdom, sought suppliers for refuse and waste-related services within multiple lots distributed across various regions including Newcastle under Lyme Borough Council and East Staffordshire Borough Council. The final agreement allows for renewals up to 2029, ensuring long-term service provision and includes significant contracts such as the Household Waste Recycling Centres and Staffordshire Moorlands District Council lots. Key procurement stages included planning, tendering, and awarding, with key milestones achieved in timely succession.

This procurement process presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in waste management and energy recovery. With contracts valued up to £36,000,000, diverse organisations, both large and small (including SMEs like WILLSHEES Waste & Recycling Limited and ENVIRO SKIP HIRE LTD), engaged in bids across various lots. The focus on refuse and waste-related services allows businesses in the waste management sector to expand their operational footprint and leverage resource recovery capabilities. The open procurement method enabled a broad competition among tenderers, ensuring comprehensive service delivery while supporting growth and sustainability objectives for participating businesses. The framework highlights the importance of employing skilled human resources and efficient vehicle and plant provisions, further endorsing the criteria essential for sustained business development.
