UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Stevenage Borough Council contracted for the collection and disposal of recyclable plastics and cans. This is a recycling service concession, with payments to the council based on Letsrecycle rates. The work serves Stevenage, Hertfordshire. The requirement covers recyclable plastics and cans; the published scope does not break these materials into separate services or describe collection volumes. For waste and resource-management businesses, this is a municipal recycling operation in which the provider’s commercial return is linked to market rates and includes payment to the council.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Stevenage Borough Council used a below-threshold limited competition under the concession regime. N&P Crayford MRF Limited was selected as supplier. The contract was signed on 1 June 2026, with a stated gross value of £1,323,494.40. Its initial period runs from 1 June 2026 to 31 May 2028, with an option to extend by up to two years, to a maximum end date of 31 May 2030. The contract covers one lot. The published process does not give an evaluation formula or specific eligibility requirements.

This award shows demand from Stevenage Borough Council for a plastics-and-cans recycling concession, with the commercial model based on Letsrecycle rates and payments flowing to the council. A credible future competitor would need to demonstrate the operational ability to collect and dispose of these recyclable materials and manage a concession whose returns are exposed to rate movements. The council selected a large supplier, indicating that relevant waste-management capacity and delivery capability matter for this requirement. Businesses with established recycling operations and the ability to handle council-scale collection and disposal are the closest fit. The contract period, including the possible extension, provides evidence of the scale and duration of the service the council has procured.
