Summary of the contracting process

Teignbridge District Council procured a material separating and sorting solution for waste management, including the supply and maintenance of machinery and equipment. The system processes comingled tins, cans and aerosols, mixed plastics, cartons, and plastic films or other soft plastics deposited by collection vehicles. It separates these materials into aluminium, steel and mixed-plastics hoppers. The solution must fit within the existing allocated space and be compatible with the baler already installed. The work is for the Council’s waste operations in Devon. The procurement is primarily for goods, covering sorting equipment and recycling equipment. It is relevant to manufacturers, suppliers and engineering businesses providing recycling plant, material sorting systems, integration and ongoing maintenance.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to CWS Engineering Limited, an SME, following an open procedure. Three bids were received and all three reached the final stage, including three from SMEs. Price carried 60% of the evaluation and quality 40%. The award was made on 11 March 2026, with a net value of £966,560 and a gross value of £1,159,872. The contract was signed on 31 March 2026 and runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2030. The procurement had one lot, suitable for SMEs, with an optional one-year extension described as four years plus one optional year. The tender deadline was 18 December 2025 at 12 noon, and the enquiry deadline was 5 December 2025 at 12 noon.

This award demonstrates demand from Teignbridge District Council for a compact, integrated waste-sorting solution rather than standalone equipment. A credible future competitor would need to process mixed recyclable streams from collection vehicles, separate aluminium, steel and mixed plastics into dedicated hoppers, and handle tins, cans, aerosols, cartons and flexible plastics. It would also need to work within an existing footprint and interface with an installed baler, making site assessment, systems integration and engineering design important capabilities. Ongoing maintenance provision is part of the requirement, so suppliers should be able to support equipment throughout its operating life. The competition attracted three SME bids, indicating that specialist smaller engineering and recycling-equipment businesses can compete for this type of Council requirement.
