Summary of the contracting process

Reigate and Banstead Borough Council has successfully concluded the procurement process for the "Provision of Dry Mixed Recyclables" services. The contract, with a substantial gross value of £1.5 million, was officially awarded on 6th January 2026 to Biffa Waste Services Limited. Located primarily within the region of UKJ26 in the United Kingdom, this contract represents a key initiative in waste management services within the specified area. Following an open procurement method, this process ensures transparency and competitiveness. The contract is set to begin on 3rd June 2026 and run through to 30th April 2028, with the possibility of renewal, potentially extending to a maximum of five years.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in waste management and recycling services. The contract entails the transportation, processing, and sale of Dry Mixed Recyclables (DMR), thus signifying a robust opportunity for companies with capabilities in handling large-scale recyclable waste. Given the complexity and scale of the services required, larger firms with established expertise in refuse recycling services, such as Biffa, are well-positioned to leverage this opportunity for business growth. The scope of services, including regular transportation and separation processes at a Materials Recovery Facility, indicates potential for expansion in service networks and operational infrastructure for companies within this sector.

Notice Title

RBBC - 038498-Provision of Dry Mixed Recyclables

Notice Description

Appointment of contractor who is a registered Company with relevant experience, in managing and delivering Dry Mixed Recycling (DMR) associated services. The purpose of this contract is for the transportation, processing and onward sale of the Authority's Dry Mixed Recycling to Reigate and Banstead Borough Council. We have approximately 153,629 residents living in the borough, with collection of the magnitude of 7,000 tonnes (approximately) of DMR per annum. Typically, 25 bulker loads per month of DMR would need to be serviced by the Supplier. The Authority operates a two-stream collection service, so the majority of the paper/cardboard is collected separately to the Dry Mixed Recycling and is not part of this Contract. The proposed scope of this contract is for the DMR, which includes: Transport of the DMR from Earlswood Waste Transfer Station to a MRF (Materials Recovery Facility). Processing of the DMR at a MRF, separating out the DMR into the various Recyclables. Sale of the Recyclables to a secondary MRF processor; to a material's re-processor; or directly to an end market user.
