UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Norse Commercial Services Limited is procuring street sweeping waste collection, receipt, handling, treatment, recycling and disposal services through Norse Environmental Waste Services Limited. The requirement is for one third-party single service provider to arrange periodic bulk collection of street sweepings from authorised transfer stations across Norfolk. The service covers the full downstream management of this waste, including receiving material, processing it, recycling where appropriate and disposing of the remainder. The procurement is for services in the refuse disposal and treatment sector, classified under CPV 90510000. Delivery covers Norfolk areas represented by the counties of Norfolk, Cambridgeshire and Suffolk in the published location data. The buyer is Norse Commercial Services Limited, with Norse Environmental Waste Services Limited managing the procurement on its behalf.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following an open procedure. One bid was received and the award is pending to 2ZLF Ltd. The award date is 13 August 2026, with an awarded gross value of £3,988,952.19. The planned contract period is 1 September 2026 to 31 March 2030, with a maximum extent to 31 March 2032 and renewal described as two incremental 12-month periods. The tender’s gross estimated value was £4,017,866.72. The standstill period ends on 24 August 2026, and the scheduled contract signature date is 28 August 2026. Bids were evaluated 60% on price and 40% on service delivery. The single lot was suitable for SMEs, and English-language electronic submissions were allowed.

This award demonstrates substantial, recurring demand from the Norse group for an integrated street sweeping waste service across Norfolk. A credible competitor would need the operational capacity to arrange periodic bulk collections from multiple authorised transfer stations and manage the complete waste chain through receipt, handling, treatment, recycling and disposal. Experience in refuse disposal and treatment would be directly relevant, alongside reliable logistics, compliant waste handling and access to suitable treatment, recycling and disposal routes. Suppliers should be able to evidence consistent service delivery at a sizeable county-wide scale, not simply isolated collection work. The evaluation placed greater emphasis on price than service delivery, so future competitors would need both a cost-efficient operating model and a clear, dependable approach to service performance. The opportunity also appears accessible to SME-scale providers.
