Summary of the contracting process

Cornwall Education Learning Trust (CELT), a multi-academy trust operating primary and secondary schools across Cornwall, procured a waste management service for 18 schools. The service covers collection and management of general waste, dry mixed recycling, food waste, confidential waste and small volumes of hazardous waste. It is intended to provide safe, compliant and environmentally responsible waste handling, minimise disruption to school operations, reduce waste and divert material from landfill. The work is delivered across Cornwall. This is a waste and refuse services opportunity, classified under CPV 90500000. The requirement supports a multi-site education estate, so suppliers need to coordinate collections and waste streams consistently across different school premises while meeting health, safety and sustainability expectations.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through an open procedure. CELT awarded the single lot to SUEZ Recycling and Recovery UK Ltd on 1 May 2026, and the contract was signed on 11 June 2026. The awarded contract value is £444,346.50 excluding VAT and £533,215 including VAT. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2029, with an option for two further one-year extensions, giving a maximum end date of 31 August 2031. The original estimated value was £495,000 excluding VAT and £594,000 including VAT. Evaluation was based on quality at 60% and price at 40%. One bid was received and reached the final stage. The contract is above the relevant threshold and electronic submission was permitted in English.

This procurement demonstrates demand from a multi-academy trust for an integrated, multi-site waste service rather than a single-site collection arrangement. Suppliers well placed for a future requirement would need operational coverage across Cornwall, reliable scheduling for 18 schools and the vehicles, staff and facilities to manage general waste, recycling, food waste, confidential materials and small quantities of hazardous waste. Credible competitors would also need strong compliance and health and safety controls, dependable reporting and the ability to minimise disruption in active school environments. Experience of waste reduction, recycling performance and landfill diversion would support the sustainability objectives. The award to a large waste and recovery business indicates that established service capacity and end-to-end waste management capability are relevant to this buyer.
