UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Durham County Council has concluded the procurement process titled "DCC Caddy Liner Further Competition," catering to the waste management industry. This contract focuses on the supply and delivery of compostable liners for kitchen food waste caddies, complying with EN 13432 certification standards. Cromwell Polythene Limited has been awarded this contract on 22 April 2026, with deliveries scheduled from 5 May to 31 October 2026. The procurement was executed under a selective method, below the threshold framework, indicating the contract's award phase. This initiative seeks to support a phased rollout of the council's food waste service across the UKC1 region starting June 2026, with distribution activities commencing in May 2026.

This tender presents a substantial opportunity for businesses engaged in waste management and environmental sustainability, particularly those specialising in compostable products. Companies with expertise in producing certified compostable materials would be well-positioned to compete in similar procurement opportunities. Cromwell Polythene Limited, as a small to medium enterprise (SME), demonstrates the potential for smaller firms to secure contracts under selective procurement methods, providing a pathway for growth in collaboration with public authorities like Durham County Council. Engaging in such processes can bolster a business’s portfolio and enhance its market presence in the environmental and waste management sector.
