Summary of the contracting process

Braintree District Council is inviting tenders for "Haulage of Waste" services, with the aim to award either Lots 1 & 2 or Lot 3. This open procedure, facilitated by an electronic submission through the Delta eSourcing portal, is actively seeking a contractor who can efficiently deliver waste streams to designated reprocessing facilities. These waste streams encompass dry mixed recycling, paper and card, garden waste, Persistent Organic Pollutants (POP's), and general waste. The procurement process is currently at the Tender stage, with submissions closing on 24th November 2025. Located in Braintree, UK, this contract is particularly significant as it aligns with legal framework 2023/54. An estimated value of £2.1 million is attached to the tender, extending over a procurement category for services in the refuse transport sector, classified under CPV code 90512000. The contract is set to commence on 1st April 2026, with an option to extend for a further two years in consecutive one-year periods.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses involved in waste management and transportation services to expand their clientele and revenue streams. Given the scope of work involving various waste types, companies with experience in managing large-scale waste haulage efficiently will find this tender aligned with their capabilities. Additionally, the tender encourages bids from small to medium enterprises (SMEs), providing an equitable opportunity for growth within the public sector. Notably, the potential changes due to Simpler Recycling reforms necessitate a forward-thinking approach to adapting services, presenting strategic growth opportunities for businesses capable of innovation and flexibility in service delivery. Engaging in this tender could significantly enhance a company's profile and reliability within the waste management industry.

Notice Title

Haulage of Waste

Notice Description

Braintree District Council is seeking a reliable and efficient contractor who can ensure timely and correct delivery of each waste stream to the correct predesignated reprocessing facilities. There is a potential that such facilities change throughout the lifetime of this contract. The waste streams currently in scope of this contract are, dry mixed recycling, paper and card, garden waste, Persistent Organic Pollutants (POP's), general waste (including litter picking, fly tip litter, dog waste, wood for recycling and general waste skip and wood waste). The sale of the materials is out of scope of this contract. This tender is being issued in three Lots with either Lots 1 & 2 or Lot 3 being awarded. The decision about which of the Lots will be awarded is described in more detail in the Bidders Guidance provided. Bidders should note that changes brought around by the Simpler Recycling reforms will change the composition of the dry mixed recycling waste stream from 1 June 2026, involving glass, tetrapak, paper and card and therefore will affect tonnages and number of loads. Further detail about these changes is provided in the specification. The Total value (estimated) incl. VAT is PS2,100,000 and not PS4,200,000 as stated in this notice, due to the intention to only award either Lots 1 & 2 or Lot 3.
