Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, titled "Provision of Refuse Sacks and Caddy Liners," involves a collaboration among South Holland District Council, Boston Borough Council, and East Lindsey District Council. This procurement is part of a completed process where these councils sought suppliers for refuse sacks and caddy liners across their respective regions. Facilitated through an open procedure, the procurement covered regions across the United Kingdom and was managed by the Public Sector Partnership Services Ltd. Key dates include the commencement of contracts on 1st June 2026, set to run until 31st May 2029, with a potential extension up to May 2030. This tender, classified under the goods category, addresses core infrastructure needs, and was open to competitive bidding, closing earlier this year.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses specializing in the production of sacks and bags, particularly those capable of supplying polythene waste and refuse sacks. Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) have been successful in securing awards, indicative of the competitive nature of the tendering process and an emphasis on fostering SME participation. Such contracts not only ensure steady business but also enhance the supplier’s profile by aligning with government standards on quality and environmental compliance. Businesses that can reliably deliver quality products at competitive prices, while meeting specific service delivery metrics, stand to benefit significantly from involvement in this type of procurement opportunity.

Notice Title

Provision of Refuse Sacks and Caddy Liners

Notice Description

South Holland District Council, Boston Borough Council and East Lindsey District Council operate a collaborative partnership to deliver services across the sub-region. Under this procurement, one supplier was appointed to each lot to provide a range of refuse sacks and caddy liners. The lot relating to Boston Borough Council was unsuccessful, as the initially awarded supplier was unable to maintain their tendered pricing due to the impact of ongoing external factors to their business operations. An alternative route to procurement for Boston Borough Council will be undertaken separately.
