Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the Provision of a Transfer Station for Dry Mixed Recyclate was conducted by Oxford Direct Services Limited, a public authority in Oxford, UK. This process involves the creation of undercover Transfer Station facilities to handle Dry Recyclables collected from households and commercial premises, including materials like plastic, glass, metal cans, paper, and drinks cartons. The procurement was completed through a direct award method due to the lack of suitable bids in an open tender process, influenced by market constraints within the Oxfordshire locality. The contract was awarded to R Collard Ltd and is set to take effect from 28th June 2026 to 27th June 2028, with potential extensions up to 2030. The total contract value is £480,000.

This procurement offers significant growth opportunities, particularly for businesses engaged in waste management and recycling service sectors. SMEs with capabilities in establishing and operating waste transfer stations, handling dry recyclables, and logistics can find this contract aligns well with their service offerings. Such businesses can leverage this opportunity to establish a foothold in the recycling industry within Oxfordshire, enhancing market presence and exploring further contracts with sub-central government authorities. R Collard Ltd, an SME, exemplifies the potential success for similarly sized enterprises aiming to deliver essential services in waste management for public sector clients.
