Summary of the contracting process

Westmorland and Furness Council procured green waste services for the Westmorland and Furness area. The requirement covered all green waste services, classified as refuse and waste-related services. Delivery was required across the council’s service area in the United Kingdom. This was a public-sector waste management opportunity for suppliers able to provide services across the area rather than a single-site assignment. The council was the buying organisation and the procurement was categorised as a service contract. The requirement was presented as one consolidated lot, covering the full scope of green waste services for the area. It was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating that organisations of different sizes and ownership models could have been eligible to compete.

The procurement reached the tender stage: the council invited offers using an open procedure. The tender was subsequently withdrawn and the procurement was terminated because the Council Strategy had changed; a tender opportunity was not published for this procurement. The planned contract period was from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2031. Its estimated value was £4,000,000 excluding VAT, or £4,800,000 including VAT. The opportunity was above the relevant threshold and covered one lot for the complete requirement. The recorded tender status was withdrawn, and the associated award was cancelled on 11 August 2026. The procurement therefore did not proceed to a contract award, despite having reached the stage at which suppliers were invited to submit offers.

This opportunity would have suited waste management and environmental services businesses able to deliver green waste services across the Westmorland and Furness area. Suppliers would need the operational capability, vehicles, equipment, sites, personnel and systems required to manage the full service rather than a small standalone task. The single-lot structure indicates a need to cover the complete requirement, so relevant organisations would be those with sufficient geographic reach, service capacity and experience to operate at council scale. Small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises were identified as suitable participants, making the requirement potentially relevant to established specialist providers, community-based organisations and collaborative delivery teams. The procurement was withdrawn, however, so businesses should not treat it as an available opportunity.
