Summary of the contracting process

Cardiff Council procured services to transport and process dry mixed recycling. The requirement covers collection-related transport, refuse treatment and disposal, and the recycling or processing of leather, textile, rubber and plastic waste. The work is intended to support Cardiff Council’s waste management activities across the United Kingdom. It is a public-sector recycling and waste-services requirement rather than a supply-only contract, so relevant businesses are operators able to move mixed recyclable materials and process them through suitable treatment or recycling facilities. The awarded service is titled Transportation Processing and Recycling of Dry Mixed Recycling and sits within the wider refuse and waste-related services category.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to GAE Smith (Holdings) Ltd trading as Casepak. Cardiff Council used a below-threshold open competition. Two bids were received and one reached the final stage. The contract was awarded on 11 September 2026 for £147,654 excluding VAT, or £177,185.12 including VAT. The contract period runs from 23 September 2026 to 23 July 2027, with a possible extension to 23 August 2027; the award provides for a one-month extension at the council’s discretion. There was one lot, assessed on cost weighted at 60% and quality weighted at 40%. The lot was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

This award indicates demand from Cardiff Council for an integrated dry mixed recycling service combining reliable transport with downstream processing and recycling. Businesses best placed for a future requirement would be able to handle mixed recyclable loads, organise collection or transfer logistics, and demonstrate access to compliant waste-treatment or recycling capacity for materials including plastics, textiles, rubber and leather. A credible operator would need to manage the full service consistently, provide evidence of service quality, and offer competitive pricing, since cost carried greater weight than quality in this competition. The award also shows that an SME can compete successfully for this type of council waste-services contract, where operational capability and dependable delivery matter alongside price.
