Summary of the contracting process

Wyre Borough Council has initiated a direct procurement process for the "Provision of a Bulky Waste Service" within the refuse and environmental services category. The service will cover the regions of Fylde and Wyre in the United Kingdom, specifically catering to bulky household items collection, including re-use, recycling, and recovery. The buyer, Wyre Borough Council, aims to appoint a single supplier for seamless service delivery across both Fylde and Wyre councils. The contract is set from 1 April 2026, running to 31 March 2030, with an option to extend for another year. Blackpool Borough Council has been awarded the pending contract, valued grossly at £1,640,782.89, following the completion of the procurement method classified under "direct award." The standstill period concludes on 27 March 2026, with significant milestones scheduled, including the future signature date due by 30 March 2026.

This procurement presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in waste collection and environmental services to establish a reputable standing through long-term collaboration with local government bodies. Ideal contenders are large-scale businesses capable of managing complex logistics and demonstrating proficiency in refurbishing and reusing collected goods, as this is vital to the contract success. Small to medium enterprises may partner with larger organisations to leverage local presence and existing infrastructure. Additionally, businesses prepared to adapt and fulfil the councils’ specific requirements stand to benefit from sustained revenue streams and the potential for contract renewal. With planned local government reorganisation in 2028, there remains an opportunity to adapt and potentially expand service coverage in future phases.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Provision of a Bulky Waste Service

Notice Description

Bulky Waste Service is a bulky household items collection service, which includes re-use, recycling and recovery of collected items, operating across Fylde and Wyre. We are looking to appoint a single supplier to provide the management and delivery of the Bulky Waste Service, on behalf of Fylde Council and Wyre Borough Council. The successful supplier will operate an appointment system for the collection of bulky items and collection dates, including a choice of am/pm and evening collections in a 3 hour time zone, via the supplier's ordering system which will be capable of interfacing with council customer service IT and call handling systems. The service shall as a minimum be provided Monday to Saturday, with at least one evening and weekend slot available within each Local Authority area. The service provider will not be required to provide the service on Bank Holidays, nationally proclaimed holidays, nor between Christmas Day and New Years Day (inclusive). The Service Provider shall organise the service such that it is capable of meeting the Fylde Council and Wyre Council's service requests to ensure no customer waits longer than 10 working days (unless requested by the customer). The Service Provider must provide enough resource to handle, as a minimum, 6,450 collections per annum across the two Authorities operating 6 days per week including 2 evenings and a Saturday. Fylde Council and Wyre Council wish to appoint a Service Provider who can clearly demonstrate the ability to meet our requirements and who offers the most advantageous tender. It is anticipated that the contract term will be from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2030, with the option to extend for a period of 1 year (subject to contract review and budget availability).

Procurement Information

The councils issued a tender for the Provision of a Bulky Waste Service but no suitable tenders were received section 43(1) PA2023. Links to the relevant notices have been provided below. We were unable to link these to the notice, as a procurement termination notice was issued prematurely and we have been unable to cancel the notice. UK2: Preliminary market engagement notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/015166-2025? UK4: Tender notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/024625-2025? UK12: Procurement termination notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/048277-2025? Following the tender process, conversations were had with interested parties that participated in the market engagement exercise to understand why no assessed tenders were received. Two of the providers could not meet key requirements including refurbishing and reusing goods that have been collected, which is key to the success of the contract and the other provider was not able to establish depot provision in the local area. The third interested party could meet the councils requirements with some alterations to their depot facility, which they will undertake before the start of the contract. Both councils are now planning to proceed with a contract award to Blackpool Borough Council on the same specification that was set out in the tender documents. A contract award will be made following the mandatory standstill period.
