Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process managed by Translink, a public undertaking organisation located in Belfast, United Kingdom, involves the "P-3276 Collection and Disposal of Scrap Metal - Skips" contract. This project, falling under the services industry category, specifically pertains to refuse disposal and recycling services. The procurement went through an open competition below the threshold and reached the award stage on 1st December 2025, with the contract already signed on 28th November 2025. The main procurement category is services, with the contract being active from 5th January 2026 to 4th January 2031, featuring an optional 24-month extension contingent on performance and value for money. The project is designed to generate income for Translink through the sale of recycled materials, with the awarded value being an estimated £315,000 over the initial contract term.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses in the recycling and waste management sectors, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like Thomas Hamill & Sons, an SME awarded the contract. Companies capable of delivering refuse collection, transport, and non-hazardous waste treatment would be particularly suited to such engagements. The procurement method required responses to be submitted via the eTendersNI portal, favouring businesses familiar with digital tender submissions and Northern Irish devolved regulations. This provides businesses the chance to enter or expand their presence in the public utilities sector by aligning with Translink's sustainable initiatives in waste management and recycling.
