Summary of the contracting process

Thurrock Council is currently planning a procurement process titled "Disposal of Waste Collected from the Public Realm," classified under refuse and waste-related services. This process, being managed under a competitive flexible procedure, is in the planning stage with communications indicating a future notice date of 20th July 2026. The procurement is intended for services above the threshold value, with the location specified as Grays, United Kingdom. The planned contract is set to commence on 13th December 2026 and conclude on 12th December 2030, with potential renewals extending to December 2032.

This tender offers significant business growth opportunities, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in waste disposal services. As the procurement is planned for a term of up to six years, with possible extensions, it could provide a stable revenue stream. Companies with flexible procurement strategies and the ability to scale operations to meet the contractual requirements will find this opportunity particularly beneficial. Businesses aiming to enhance their service delivery to public authorities will be well-positioned to compete in this competitive, yet flexible, procurement process.
