Summary of the contracting process

Lisburn & Castlereagh City Council has completed the procurement process for a contract titled "Collection, Transportation and Recovery of Waste Wood from Council HRCs." This initiative falls within the services category, particularly focusing on sewage, refuse, cleaning, and environmental services. The project is located in the United Kingdom, specifically targeting the Lisburn and Castlereagh region. The procurement process was completed as a direct award due to urgent market conditions, bypassing a conventional open competition. The contract commenced on 17th November 2025 and is set to conclude on 16th November 2026. The award's gross value was £537,600, equivalent to £448,000 excluding VAT, highlighting the significant investment in sustainable waste management solutions.

This procurement presents substantial opportunities for businesses involved in waste management services, especially those specialising in sustainable and environmentally friendly waste disposal practices. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) offering niche services in these sectors, such as waste wood recovery for energy generation, stand to benefit. Given the urgent nature of this procurement and the council's recognition of limited market capability at present, businesses with innovative solutions and agile operational capabilities could gain a foothold in future tenders as the council anticipates launching open tender competitions. This contract exemplifies the potential for businesses to align with environmental sustainability goals and public sector needs.

Notice Title

Collection, Transportation and Recovery of Waste Wood from Council HRCs

Notice Description

Contract for the collection, transportation and recovery of waste wood from Lisburn and Castlereagh City Council Household Recycling Centres. The service diverts waste wood from the residual waste stream for energy recovery.

Procurement Information

The council were required to terminate an existing contract for the transportation, recovery and treatment of waste wood due to market conditions in wood processing capacity. Given the urgent need for this service, the council does not have sufficient time to complete an open procurement exercise. The councils market research shows that the appetite and ability to provide the service we require at this time, is extremely limited. It is the intention to advertise an open tender competition as soon as possible.
