Summary of the contracting process

York St John University sought a qualified provider for waste management services across its university operations in York. The requirement covers the efficient collection of all waste streams, their appropriate and timely disposal, and advice and assistance to reduce overall waste and increase recycling rates. This is a public-sector environmental services contract, classified under refuse and waste-related services (CPV 90500000). The work is delivered in York for the University. It would suit waste management operators able to provide an end-to-end service, manage different waste streams reliably and support a client with measurable waste reduction and recycling objectives. The requirement combines operational collection and disposal with practical improvement advice, rather than being limited to haulage or one particular waste type.

The procurement used an open procedure and is complete. Six bids were received. The tender deadline was 13 April 2026 at 10:00, enquiries closed on 6 April 2026 at 12:00, and the award period ended on 29 May 2026. Panda Recycling UK was awarded the contract on 24 April 2026 for £850,000 gross, but its associated contract was cancelled on 18 June 2026 because the supplier could not meet the original specification. Veolia ED (UK) Limited was then awarded the contract on 11 June 2026 for £850,000 gross, and the active contract was signed on 30 July 2026. It runs from 5 August 2026 to 4 August 2029, with two possible two-year extensions, to a maximum date of 4 August 2034. Evaluation weighted price and overall value for money at 40%, with quality criteria covering resourcing and capability (20%), client responsiveness (15%), measurement and reporting (15%), and social value, added value and innovation (10%).

This opportunity demonstrates established demand from a university for a comprehensive waste management partner, with sufficient operational scale to attract large national or regional providers. A credible future competitor would need dependable collection capacity across all waste streams, compliant disposal arrangements, continuity of service and the ability to respond quickly to client issues. Evidence of waste reduction and recycling outcomes would be important, supported by robust measurement, reporting and data analysis. Suppliers should also be able to offer practical innovation, social value and added value rather than relying on price alone. The requirement was identified as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, so smaller specialists could be competitive where they can demonstrate the necessary coverage, resilience, service quality and environmental performance.
