Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Waltham Forest has concluded the procurement process for the "ZED Waltham Forest 2026" project, awarding a contract to Zero Emission Deliveries Waltham Forest LTD. This public procurement initiative involved an open procurement method and aimed at establishing a Zero Emission Delivery (ZED) service to support sustainable travel and reduce emissions within the Waltham Forest area, located in the UKI53 region. The procurement, which followed a concession special regime, reached the award stage, having progressed through planning and tendering periods. The contract, valued at £432,000 gross, will commence on 1 July 2026, extending initially until 30 June 2028, with a potential one-year renewal option. This procurement is intended to influence more environmentally friendly delivery practices across the London Borough, aligning with the Enjoy Waltham Forest Programme's goals.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in sustainable and eco-friendly logistics solutions, particularly SMEs, which are encouraged to participate. The service seeks providers who can help reduce vehicular emissions and adapt to recent infrastructural changes in road layouts, offering a green transportation alternative for council departments and local businesses. Enterprises that excel in delivering high-quality, eco-conscious courier services and can innovate within local community contexts could greatly benefit from engaging with this contract. The initiative's focus on sustainable development aligns well with businesses looking to expand in green industries and partner with governmental programmes for a more sustainable urban environment.
