Summary of the contracting process

Norse Commercial Services Ltd bought non-hazardous waste treatment and disposal services for Amber Valley Norse, acting for Amber Valley Borough Council. The requirement covered receiving and treating waste collected through kerbside services, with collection vehicles delivering directly to the transfer station. The materials included domestic dry mixed recycling, commercial or trade dry mixed recycling and glass. Services were required across Amber Valley and the wider East Midlands delivery area. Collection vehicles ranged from 7.5 to 26 tonnes. The operating requirement involved substantial throughput: domestic dry mixed recycling, commercial or trade dry mixed recycling and glass were each received for processing, including frequent daily vehicle loads for the domestic recycling and glass streams. This is a waste reception, transfer, sorting and treatment opportunity rather than general refuse collection.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a single open-procedure lot. The tender closed on 21 April 2026, enquiries closed on 10 April 2026 and the award period ended on 1 May 2026. One bid was received and one reached the final stage. The estimated gross value was £3,571,495, while H W Martin Waste Ltd was awarded the contract at a gross value of £3,360,187. The award date was 30 June 2026 and the contract was signed on 13 July 2026. The contract runs from 14 July 2026 to 26 June 2027, with extensions available to 30 September 2029. Evaluation weighted price at 60%, quality at 30% and ESG or corporate social responsibility at 10%.

This award demonstrates demand for a large-scale waste processing partner able to receive material directly from kerbside collection vehicles and manage multiple recyclable waste streams. A credible future competitor would need suitable transfer, reception, sorting and treatment infrastructure, together with the operational capacity to handle domestic dry mixed recycling, commercial or trade dry mixed recycling and glass. The requirement also points to the importance of accepting vehicles between 7.5 and 26 tonnes and managing frequent daily deliveries. Suppliers should be able to evidence reliable logistics, safe waste handling, consistent treatment outcomes and robust quality controls. Environmental and social value performance formed part of the evaluation, so bidders would need a clear ESG or corporate responsibility approach alongside competitive pricing and relevant waste-sector experience.
