This procurement process embraces multiple lots covering items like cardboard, timber, and plastics, to name a few, within the industry category of refuse recycling services. The contracts span from 8 January 2026 to 30 November 2027, with the potential for an extension of up to 24 months, depending on performance. The procurement was conducted via an open procedure, adhering to Northern Irish devolved regulations, and is now in the award stage, with awarded contracts set at a total approximate value of £12.12 million. Interested parties partook through the eSourcingNI procurement portal, ensuring a competitive landscape and adherence to procurement standards under the open procedure framework.

Businesses with expertise in refuse recycling services, including the transportation and processing of diverse recyclables, stand to benefit from the demand driven by this contract, given its extensive scope across multiple recyclable categories. By securing these contracts, enterprises can significantly boost revenues, enhance regional presence, and potentially enter new markets through the options for contract extension.

This aligns well with SMEs aiming for sustainable growth in the public sector procurement landscape.

Planning Information

Through this Preliminary Market Engagement exercise (PME), the Council is seeking to improve their understanding of the latest developments in recycling, reprocessing, and recovery of recyclables and how they might incorporate any developments they deem relevant in their tender documentation. This PME will consist of a questionnaire which aims to gather information on solutions that prioritise waste management options within the waste hierarchy and address the following requirements (but are not limited to): • Capacity and Capability of the Providers in the Market The Council would like a better understanding of the current marketplace and whether it is capable of providing the safe removal and recycling, reprocessing and recovery of a range of recyclables. • Transportation Costs The Council would like a better understanding of pricing variances if transportation is included in the recycling, reprocessing and recovery costs. • Upcoming Legislation The Council would like a better understanding of methodologies that are available to remain compliant with persistent organic pollutants (POPs) guidance. • Market Changes The Council would like a better understanding of any anticipated market changes that would affect the pricing for recycling, reprocessing and recovery of materials. In addition, depending on the volume of responses, the Council may wish to follow up the questionnaire with face to face or virtual meetings with respondents. Each meeting will provide an opportunity for further mutual understanding of the individual response and any potential issues around this procurement including, but not limited to any risks or issues that may not have previously been considered. Further details of the follow up communications can be found within the PME documentation. No supplier engagement has taken place prior to this notice.
