Summary of the contracting process

Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Council led the procurement process for a framework agreement titled "CLAIRE WALES TEXTILES & MEDIA MATERIALS REUSE & RECYCLING 2026 FRAMEWORK AGREEMENT (MTCBC/CLAIRE/TMR02)." This procurement focused on refuse recycling services, specifically targeting the collection of textile and media materials from various sites across Wales. The procurement was initiated in November 2025 and followed an open procurement method, with key dates including an enquiry period ending on 8th December 2025 and a tender period closing on 15th December 2025. Although the tender was completed, it was ultimately cancelled due to issues with the evaluation methodology and financial arrangements that rendered the framework agreement unusable. This initiative aimed to establish a framework whereby participating members of the CLAIRE (Wales) group could award individual contracts to successful bidders. The industry category was refuse recycling services, with a geographical focus covering multiple regions in the United Kingdom.

This tender presented significant opportunities for businesses in the recycling sector, offering potential growth for enterprises capable of managing textile and media material collections. Businesses that are well-suited for this opportunity include those specialising in recycling operations with the capacity to handle large-scale collections across multiple councils in Wales. The framework allowed for multiple lots, with only one successful tenderer per lot, catering to the specific needs of CLAIRE (Wales) members. Furthermore, SMEs and VCSEs were encouraged to participate, making the tender inclusive and accessible to a broad range of businesses. Despite the tender cancellation, there remain future opportunities in similar frameworks for innovative companies to align with governmental sustainability initiatives.
