UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Durham County Council initiated a public procurement process for the "Collection and Distribution of Domestic Food Waste Caddies" in response to the UK government's Simpler Recycling legislation. The tender, with an estimated value of GBP 500,000 to GBP 600,000, aimed to provide weekly household food waste collections in the Durham area. Although the procurement method was an open procedure under the category of waste-related services, it was ultimately cancelled on 27th August 2025 due to a lack of submissions. The tender period originally concluded on 1st August 2025, with anticipated contract activities from 1st September 2025 to 31st August 2026.

This tender presented significant opportunities for businesses specialising in waste management and recycling services, particularly those equipped to provide high-quality services within a competitive pricing structure. Companies with the capability to handle large-scale logistics and distribution networks for waste caddies would have found this contract particularly suitable. Despite the cancellation of the open procedure, businesses can still seek to engage with such initiatives by exploring direct award opportunities or preparing for future tender processes in this industry sector.
