Summary of the contracting process

Westmorland and Furness Council sought residual waste services for the Eden area. The requirement covers the council’s residual waste service, including activities classified as refuse and waste-related services. Delivery is in the Eden area of Cumbria, within the council’s administrative area. This is a public-sector waste services requirement rather than a purchase of equipment or construction works. The service is relevant to waste management companies, local authority waste contractors and specialist operators able to provide residual waste services across the Eden area. The procurement was intended to support the council’s ongoing waste management responsibilities for this part of its area.

The process reached tender stage and was intended to invite offers through an open procedure. It was subsequently withdrawn, and the council said its strategy had changed; it also stated that a tender opportunity was not published. The planned contract period was 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2031. The estimated value was £8,000,000 excluding VAT, or £9,600,000 including VAT. The procurement consisted of one lot covering all residual waste services for the Eden area. The lot was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. A further notice was expected on 1 October 2026, but the procurement status is withdrawn.

This procurement would have suited suppliers with practical capability in delivering residual waste services for a public authority across the Eden area. Relevant businesses include established waste management operators, companies providing collection, handling, treatment or related refuse services, and smaller or community-based organisations able to deliver the required service directly or as part of a consortium. The stated suitability for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises indicates that the requirement was not limited to large national contractors. However, the procurement was withdrawn following a change in the council’s strategy, and the council stated that no tender opportunity was published. There is therefore no current opportunity to pursue under this process.
