Summary of the contracting process

The Royal Devon & Exeter NHS Foundation Trust initiated a procurement process titled "Clinical Waste on behalf of Torbay and South Devon NHS Foundation Trust". The process is categorised under services in the waste management industry, specifically addressing clinical waste. Located in Exeter, UK, the main procurement used the open procedure method. Although the tender initially began with the publication of a notice on 7th January 2026, further proceedings were halted as the award was ultimately cancelled on 19th May 2026. As a result, the opportunity is now marked as complete.

This tender offered significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in refuse and waste-related services, particularly those with expertise in hazardous and medical waste management. SMEs were especially encouraged to participate due to suitability markers, and the service contract initially intended to run from July 2026 to June 2031, with potential extensions. Businesses capable of providing a high standard of technical support and social value, alongside competitive commercial terms, would have found this opportunity particularly pertinent. While the procurement process has ended, identifying similar future opportunities remains beneficial for businesses in the relevant sectors.
