UK3 - Planned Procurement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Essex County Council recently completed the procurement process for a contract focused on the treatment and disposal of Persistent Organic Pollutants Waste (POPs). This open procedure sought a contractor to safely manage the disposal of up to 6,500 tonnes per annum of waste upholstered domestic seating that may contain POPs. This large-scale contract, valued at approximately £34 million gross, involves services related to refuse and waste, and spans the region of the United Kingdom. It was awarded to Countrystyle Recycling Limited, with the contract formally starting from 10th June 2026 and possibly extending up to 2037. The procurement process consisted of a planned period, then a tender announcement on 5th May 2026, a tender period ending on 19th May 2026, followed by an active award period concluding with the contract signing on 10th June 2026.

This procurement opportunity opens doors for businesses specialising in waste management and environmental services, particularly those experienced with hazardous waste. The contract's emphasis on environmental compliance, safety standards, and large-scale waste handling makes it ideal for well-established waste management firms capable of handling both the technical and logistical challenges. SMEs with innovative disposal technologies or cost-efficient processes are also encouraged to explore future opportunities in similar tenders, as such projects often allow for gradual scaling and long-term partnerships, providing ample scope for business expansion and deeper market penetration.
