Summary of the contracting process

Dorset Council is in the planning stage of a procurement process for a Highways Waste and Recycling Framework. The tender, titled "Highways waste and recycling Framework," falls within the services industry category, specifically related to refuse and waste services. The procurement is intended for waste generated through highway maintenance activities in the UK, particularly in the region of Dorchester. While the procurement is planned, the council clearly states that the details provided in the pipeline notice, published on 22 May 2025, may evolve over time. The contract is expected to commence on 1 October 2026 and conclude by 30 September 2034, with a future notice anticipated on 1 April 2026. The procurement method involves a framework agreement, and the estimated gross contract value is £2,640,000.

This pending tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in waste management and recycling, particularly those specialising in highway-related refuse services. Firms with expertise in handling various types of waste such as road planings, green waste, and mixed construction and demolition waste without haulage will find this tender suitable. The contract promises a long-term engagement, spanning eight years, which could offer stability and growth for companies capable of delivering the required services to Dorset Council. Businesses that can meet the above-threshold requirements and align their operations with council objectives should consider positioning themselves for the forthcoming competition.
