UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Essex County Council has concluded the procurement process for the project titled "The Haulage & Disposal of Fly Tipped Waste Fines." This falls under the services category within the refuse and waste-related services industry. The procurement was aimed at securing a supplier to handle approximately 700 tonnes of fly-tipped waste through a limited competition method below the threshold, culminating in an award phase that was completed as of February 19, 2026. The contract for this service commenced on February 20, 2026, and is set to conclude by March 31, 2026, with a total value of £201,888 gross. Located in Chelmsford, Essex County Council serves as the buying organisation, with the process governed by legislative framework 2023/54.

This tender offers notable opportunities for businesses specialising in waste management and haulage services, particularly small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) familiar with handling refuse operations. COHART Asbestos Disposal Limited, a Basildon-based SME, was awarded the contract, illustrating Essex County Council's interest in engaging with local and regional companies for efficient waste service solutions. Enterprises with similar capabilities and geographical presence in the UKH region might find Essex County Council's procurement processes conducive to expansion and partnership opportunities. The procurement approach, being limited and below threshold, indicates potential for more localised and adaptable businesses to compete effectively within defined criteria.
