Summary of the contracting process

BLUELIGHT COMMERCIAL LIMITED, a public authority classified as sub-central government, is planning a procurement process titled "BLC0259 - Waste Services." This tender specifically targets the industry focusing on refuse and waste-related services. With a procurement budget of £69,000,000, the process is currently in the planning stage, having been initiated on 23 April 2026. The ultimate procurement aims to cover disposal and related services across various waste streams associated with policing and emergency services, emphasizing recycling, reuse, and revenue generation. The services are planned for delivery across the United Kingdom, with the planned framework agreement implementation scheduled to start on 1 December 2026.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses in the waste management sector, particularly those specialising in recycling, hazardous waste disposal, and consultancy services for waste management. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, providing consultancy, general disposal, and specialised waste management services, including regulated items like textiles and WEEE-regulated office equipment. The tender also allows for revenue-generating operations such as the sale of confiscated items. Opportunities are divided into different lots, covering a diverse range of waste categories from general disposal to confidential and hazardous materials, also allowing for regional sub-lotting to cater to specific local needs. Businesses capable of offering innovative waste solutions and compliance with environmental regulations will find lucrative prospects in collaborating with Bluelight and allied emergency services.
