Summary of the contracting process

The Harborough District Council is undertaking a competitive flexible tender process to procure services related to recyclable and waste collections, street cleansing, and grounds maintenance within the Harborough District. This procurement initiative is currently at the tender stage, having been announced on 3rd October 2025, with all submissions for the first stage due by 31st October 2025. The contract is expected to commence on 1st April 2027, following an award in October 2026. The procurement falls under the services category, with a substantial budget totalling £84 million gross, and employs an open tender method to encourage extensive participation. The process will be conducted over four stages, each designed to rigorously evaluate proposals through prequalification, quality, price, and social value assessments, ensuring a comprehensive selection process.

This tender offers significant business opportunities, particularly for single suppliers capable of delivering an integrated suite of environmental services across a district. The procurement process is structured to allow subcontracting for specific service elements, such as grounds maintenance, enhancing participation opportunities for SMEs and specialised service providers. Businesses with strong credentials in environmental services, competitive pricing strategies, and a commitment to delivering social value projects will be well-positioned to succeed. With the procurement being conducted openly, the structured multi-stage process provides a platform for businesses to negotiate and refine their proposals, thus enhancing their competitive stance in a significant public sector contract.
