Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for the Waste Transfer and Offtake Services Contract is managed by Stockton on Tees Borough Council, a sub-central government authority in the UK. This contract pertains to the change in waste collection services across Stockton, where general waste will now be collected fortnightly and recycling weekly starting April 2026. The scope includes managing a Waste Transfer Station for the separation of recyclable streams at Yarm Road Depot. The tender followed an open procedure, entering the award stage as of 8th January 2026, with a contract spanning from 8th January 2026 to 4th January 2031, with potential extensions until 2036. Located in the UKC11 region (North East England), the procurement's main category is services, specifically in waste transfer and refuse-related services.

This contract offers significant opportunities for businesses within the waste management and recycling industries to enhance their portfolios and contribute to sustainable municipal services in Stockton. With a contract value of £4,483,490 and potential extensions, it is suitable for both SMEs and large enterprises experienced in waste transfer operations. The contract involves substantial handling of recyclable and food waste streams, making it particularly attractive for companies specialising in innovative waste management solutions. Engaging in this project also offers exposure to sub-central government clients and can open doors for further regional expansion in environmental services.

Notice Title

Waste Transfer and Offtake Services Contract

Notice Description

This tender is for Waste Transfer and Offtake Services Contractor. The Council is changing the way that waste and recycling is collected across Stockton. At present, general waste is collected weekly and recycling is collected fortnightly. From April 2026, general waste will be collected fortnightly, and recycling will be collected weekly. At present, the Council collects around 8,500 tonnes of DMR per annum. The Council has worked with WRAP on modelling the upcoming changes and it is anticipated that the Council will collect an estimated 18,000 tonnes of recycling including food waste - further material breakdown is available within the tender documents. The Council requires a Borough central Waste Transfer Station (WTS) for the offloading of the recycling vehicles. Due to the configuration of the recycling vehicles and the new kerbside sort model, the WTS must be set up in a specific way to support the separation of the recyclable streams. The Council will be re-purposing and building upon the current Yarm Road Depot site and is going out for tender for the operator of this site.
