UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Ipswich Borough Council procured a hazardous liquid waste disposal service for activity in Ipswich and the surrounding council area. The requirement covers the collection, handling, treatment and disposal of hazardous liquid waste, classified under CPV 90520000 as radioactive, toxic, medical and hazardous waste services. This is a public-sector waste management service rather than a supply of equipment or construction work. The buyer is Ipswich Borough Council, which used the service to manage hazardous liquid waste generated within its area. The procurement was structured as a single requirement and awarded to Veolia ES (UK) Limited, a large waste and environmental services provider. Businesses with specialist hazardous waste operations, treatment facilities and compliant transport arrangements are the closest match to this requirement.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Veolia ES (UK) Limited. The award was active, and the contract was signed on 1 September 2026. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029, with two optional 12-month extensions and a maximum period ending 31 July 2031. The awarded contract value is £55,680 excluding VAT, or £66,816 including VAT. The original competition was a below-threshold open competition, with electronic submissions allowed. Evaluation weighted price at 60% and quality and compliance at 40%. The tender deadline was 6 May 2026 at 11:00, with clarification questions due by 28 April 2026 at 14:00. The opportunity was not divided into multiple lots.

This award demonstrates recurring local-authority demand for managed hazardous liquid waste disposal at a modest, multi-year service scale. A credible future competitor would need the operational capacity to receive, transport, handle and dispose of hazardous liquid waste safely, with suitable treatment or disposal outlets and the systems needed to maintain compliant records and traceability. The evaluation shows that price matters most, but quality and compliance together account for a substantial part of the decision, so a low-cost offer alone would not be sufficient. Relevant suppliers are likely to be established hazardous-waste contractors able to provide reliable collection and disposal across Ipswich, demonstrate consistent service performance, and evidence the technical controls, trained staff, regulatory compliance and contingency arrangements needed for hazardous materials.
