Summary of the contracting process

Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Council is the lead authority for a collaborative Welsh procurement on behalf of the CLAIRE Wales group of councils. The requirement is for collection and reuse or recycling of textile and media materials from household waste recycling centres, bring sites and kerbside collections, classified as refuse recycling services (CPV 90514000). One combined lot also covers textiles from household waste recycling centres, bring sites and kerbside collections, while another covers duvets and pillows from household waste recycling centres and bring sites. Services are intended for participating councils across Wales, including Merthyr Tydfil, Cardiff, Swansea, Newport, Bridgend, Caerphilly, Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion, Monmouthshire, Pembrokeshire, Powys, Rhondda Cynon Taf, Torfaen and the Vale of Glamorgan, with further Welsh councils potentially joining the group.

The procurement is complete following an open procedure for a framework agreement, with awards decided on 15 July 2026. The framework can have up to four participants and call-off contracts are awarded without reopening competition. The tender deadline was 5 June 2026 at 12:00, enquiries closed on 21 May 2026 at 17:00, and the standstill period ends on 27 July 2026. The framework is planned to run from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2029, with an optional 12-month extension to 31 August 2030, subject to performance. Roberts Recycling Ltd was selected for Lot 1, worth £1,915,000 excluding VAT (£2,298,000 including VAT). Lots 2, 3, 4 and 5 are recorded as awarded, but the available outcome data does not identify their suppliers or awarded values. Each lot was evaluated on quality at 70% and price at 30%, with economic and technical selection criteria.

This procurement indicates established Welsh public-sector demand for specialist recycling and reuse operations across multiple collection channels and material streams. A credible competitor would need to provide reliable collection from household waste recycling centres, bring sites and kerbside services, then manage textile, media, duvet and pillow materials for reuse or recycling. The requirement suits small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises, so scale alone is not the defining barrier. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate both economic capacity and technical capability, operate across participating Welsh councils, and support consistent service delivery under call-off contracts. The award to Roberts Recycling Ltd, with Dragon Bags Ltd identified for subcontracted work, also shows that delivery may involve specialist subcontracting arrangements.
