Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the management of Household Waste Reuse and Recycling Centres (HRRCs) is currently in the planning stage, spearheaded by The Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames along with the London Boroughs of Sutton, Croydon, and Merton. This project is significant in scale, with an anticipated gross value of £156 million, focusing on refuse and waste-related services across South London Waste Partnership areas in the UK regions UKI62 and UKI63. The tender is set to follow a competitive flexible procedure and invites businesses by 1st September 2027. The contract period is expected to start on 1st October 2030 and last until 30th September 2038, with the possibility of renewal up to 30th September 2046.

This tender opportunity represents a substantial chance for growth for businesses specialising in environmental services, waste management, and resource recovery. Companies with expertise in operating large-scale waste facilities or with innovative waste reduction solutions would be ideal candidates to engage with this procurement, given the considerable value and duration of the agreement. The collaborative involvement of multiple boroughs also suggests a strong regional impact, making it a strategically valuable partnership in terms of both business and community engagement within South London.
