Summary of the contracting process

The Cotswold District Council, a regional authority located in Cirencester, has completed the procurement process for a two-year renewal contract for refuse recycling services. This process falls under the services industry category with an emphasis on recycling. The procurement was executed using a limited method without the publication of a contract notice due to no suitable tenders from a previous restricted procedure. The contract, awarded on 7th October 2025, is valued at £500,000 and covers the UKK1 region, with Thamesdown Recycling Ltd selected as the supplier. This marks the conclusion of the procurement process, which was initiated as part of statutory service requirements.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses who specialise in recycling services, particularly those capable of delivering large-scale projects. As Thamesdown Recycling Ltd, a large-scale supplier in Swindon, was awarded this contract, it highlights the potential for substantial service contracts within the recycling sector. Businesses with expertise in delivering efficient and comprehensive recycling solutions and who can comply with statutory service agreements could find similar contracts advantageous for growth, especially those with capabilities to address the needs of regional authorities like the Cotswold District Council.
