Summary of the contracting process

Carmarthenshire County Council procured 10,080 plastic boxes, each with a 44-litre capacity, for residential kerbside glass recycling collections. This is a goods supply requirement for waste and recycling containers, supporting the Council’s household glass collection service in Carmarthenshire. The related classifications cover waste and rubbish containers and bins, refuse recycling services, and wider refuse and waste-related services. The buyer is Carmarthenshire County Council, based in Carmarthen. The awarded supplier is an SME specialising in the manufacture or supply of plastic products, indicating that the requirement is centred on providing a substantial quantity of standardised recycling boxes rather than delivering a broader waste collection operation.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to IPL PLASTICS (UK) LIMITED. It was a selective, below-threshold direct award under a framework, without a competitive process for this call-off. The award is active and the contract was signed on 11 May 2026. The contract runs from 11 May 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £50,803.20 excluding VAT and £60,963.84 including VAT. The requirement was recorded as Lot 5 of the associated framework. The contract includes a delivery target requiring drawdowns to meet the Council’s required delivery timescales. The published process identifies the procurement as complete and the contract as active.

This requirement shows recurring public-sector demand for high-volume, standardised plastic containers used in kerbside recycling. Suppliers best placed for comparable work would need the manufacturing or distribution capacity to produce or source 10,080 uniform 44-litre boxes, maintain consistent product quality, and organise reliable deliveries to a council’s operational timetable. Experience supplying waste, recycling or household collection equipment would help demonstrate relevance, while established logistics and stock-management arrangements would support phased or timed drawdowns. The successful supplier’s SME status indicates that a business does not necessarily need to be a large corporate, but it must be able to fulfil a sizeable order and meet public-sector delivery performance requirements. Familiarity with framework call-offs and below-threshold public procurement would also be useful.
