Summary of the contracting process

Kent County Council has successfully completed the procurement process for the contract titled "Soil, Rubble and Hardcore Processing Services." The contract is a part of the refuse and waste-related services industry and involves the receipt, handling, processing, and treatment of soil, rubble, and hardcore across all nineteen Household Waste Recycling Centres within the county. Gallagher Aggregates Limited has been awarded the contract, which is divided into three lots: West Kent, Mid Kent, and East Kent, with the contract period commencing on 1st May 2026 and concluding on 30th April 2029. The procurement was conducted through an open competitive flexible procedure, completed by 16th April 2026, with prior stages including a negotiation and final tender submission.

This procurement provides substantial business growth opportunities, primarily for large waste management and recycling companies capable of handling non-hazardous refuse and waste. They must possess the necessary planning permissions, environmental permits, and technical competencies to manage the expected volume and type of waste. The competitive flexible procedure engaged, focusing on quality and cost, encourages enterprises with efficient processing facilities to compete robustly. Companies with a focus on sustainability and effective waste treatment processes, particularly in the South East region, might find this contract to be a lucrative opportunity to expand their operations and solidify partnerships with public sector entities like Kent County Council.
