Summary of the contracting process

Pembrokeshire County Council is spearheading a public procurement process for the "Residual Waste Treatment" project, a service-oriented contract within the refuse and waste-related services sector. The process is currently in the planning stage, with contractual plans extending from 1st April 2027 to 31st March 2030, with potential renewal options up to 31st March 2031. Located in Pembrokeshire, Wales, and adhering to Welsh devolved regulations, the Council aims to establish a facility capable of treating 17,500 tonnes of residual waste annually, strictly without resorting such waste to landfill. A pre-market engagement exercise is scheduled, and interested suppliers are invited to submit questionnaires by 4th September 2026. The tender is notable for having a substantial budgeted gross value of £14.4 million.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in waste management services, especially those capable of providing innovative, sustainable waste treatment solutions. It is particularly favourable for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that can offer competitive and environmentally conscious alternatives to landfill usage. Given the project's scale and value, businesses with experience in servicing government contracts and operational capabilities within the UKL14 region and surrounding areas could find this an advantageous opportunity to expand their market footprint and contribute to sustainable waste management practices within the public sector.
