Summary of the contracting process

The Northern Clinical Waste Consortium procured clinical waste collection and disposal services for its member organisations. York Teaching Hospital Facilities Management LLP is the named buyer, with University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust leading the procurement. The consortium includes NHS trusts and healthcare facilities organisations serving acute hospital and community sites across northern England, including locations in Cumbria, Yorkshire and the North East. The work covers collection and disposal of clinical waste from both hospital and community settings. The scope is therefore relevant to specialist waste contractors able to serve healthcare premises across multiple organisations and types of site.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Sharpsmart Limited. The open procedure had two lots: acute hospital sites and community sites. The award date was 21 April 2026. A subsequent correction states that the value for the initial three-year contract period across consortium members is £10,365,847.32 excluding VAT. The contracts run for three years from September 2026, with an option to extend by up to two years, either as two annual extensions or one two-year extension. Bids were assessed on quality (70%, comprising specification at 60% and social value at 10%) and cost (30%). Three bids were recorded for each lot.

This award demonstrates recurring demand for clinical waste collection and disposal across a sizeable, multi-organisation healthcare consortium, covering both acute hospitals and community sites. A credible competitor would need the operational capacity to service a dispersed group of healthcare premises and reliably meet agreed collection schedules, including specified four-hour collection windows. Contract performance measures also include completing missed collections within 24 hours, servicing the required bins with appropriately sized vehicles, and providing compliant quarterly reports on waste sent in the preceding quarter. The evaluation placed greater weight on quality than cost, with specification and social value together accounting for most of the quality score. Suppliers with established healthcare waste operations and the ability to evidence dependable service delivery would be best placed to compete.
