Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involving Stockton on Tees Borough Council centres around the "Waste Transfer and Offtake Services Contract," with the council seeking a contractor to operate a Borough central Waste Transfer Station (WTS) at the Yarm Road Depot site. This initiative, driven by the council's need to improve waste and recycling collection efficiency across Stockton, will see recycling collected weekly and general waste fortnightly starting April 2026. The procurement method employed is an open procedure with key stages including award and tender, with the most recent tender notice dated 1 October 2025 and an award issued on 4 December 2025. Key deadlines include submission by 12 November 2025 12:00 GMT for tender and completion of market engagement documents by 28 July 2025. The location for services is Stockton on Tees, UKC11 region, under the industry category of Waste Transfer and Offtake Services, with the contract set to begin on 5 January 2026 and an initial five-year duration extendable up to 31 March 2036.

This contract represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in waste management, recycling services, and refuse site operations, providing a platform for both large and SME businesses to flourish. With the council actively restructuring its waste services, enterprises capable of efficiently managing large volumes of waste and implementing innovative recycling methods will find potential growth here. J & B Recycling Limited and Hargreaves Industrial Services Limited have shown interest, highlighting the commercial viability for large companies as well as small and medium enterprises. The procurement encourages competitive participation from businesses with expertise in setting up and operating waste transfer stations, aligning with the council's environmental sustainability goals.

Notice Information

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.
