UK3 - Planned Procurement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Royal Household is undertaking a planned procurement process for "Green Waste Services." This initiative is classified under refuse and waste-related services and involves the transportation, processing, and disposal of green waste from prominent locations such as Buckingham Palace, Clarence House, Kensington Palace, and Marlborough House, as well as handling waste from The Royal Mews. Scheduled in London, this procurement follows an open procedure, with a procurement stage currently set as planning. Key dates include the tender submission deadline on 14th July 2025 and the anticipated contract start date of 1st January 2026. The contract, valued at approximately £442,136, will initially run for three years with potential extensions.

This tender offers significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in waste management and environmental services, particularly those with expertise in sustainable disposal and recycling practices. With the requirement for WAMITAB-certified operatives and a focus on quality and price, small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with relevant certifications and a strong record in effective waste processing are well-suited to compete. The tender's scope for renewal and extension further presents a chance for long-term partnership with a high-profile client. Interested suppliers must register on the Royal Household's e-Sourcing platform, Delta, to participate and submit inquiries.
