UK5 - Transparency Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Oxford Direct Services Limited, a sub-central government public authority based in Oxford, recently completed a procurement process for the provision of undercover Transfer Station facilities. The tender, titled "Provision of a Transfer Station for Dry Mixed Recyclate," falls under the services category, specifically targeting refuse and waste-related services. This process, initiated as a direct award due to no suitable bids in the initial open competition, culminated with R. Collard Limited, an SME, being awarded the contract. The contract, worth £480,000 gross, commenced on 4th June 2026 and is set to run until 3rd June 2028, with options for two additional twelve-month extensions. This procurement is significant for waste management services within region UKJ14, Oxfordshire.

This tender provides substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in waste management and recycling services. Companies equipped to handle dry mixed recyclables, including plastic, glass, metal cans, and paper, stand to benefit. The presence of renewal options and the necessity for ongoing waste management solutions indicate a steady demand, offering potential growth for firms capable of delivering quality, compliance-focused services. SMEs, particularly those with experience in setting up and operating waste transfer stations, are well-positioned to compete in such procurement processes, enhancing their portfolio and market presence in the recycling and environmental services sector.
