Summary of the contracting process

Torridge District Council, a sub-central government public authority located in Bideford, United Kingdom, has completed a procurement process for the "Reprocessing of Recyclable Materials" contract. This procurement falls under the industry categories of refuse, waste, and environmental services, specifically within the UKK43 region. The contract was awarded through a direct procurement method due to the absence of reasonable alternatives that could fulfill the technical, operational, and continuity requirements. COASTAL RECYCLING SERVICES LIMITED, based in Exeter, was awarded the contract, effective from 2nd July 2026 to 31st March 2029, with a gross value of £270,000. The award was finalised on 25th June 2026.

This contract offers significant opportunities for business growth, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in environmental services and materials reprocessing. Companies with expertise in delivering specialised recycling solutions, ensuring high standards of technical and operational continuity, can benefit from such direct awards where alternatives are limited. The engagement with Torridge District Council also provides a platform for suppliers to showcase their unique capabilities and expand their portfolio in public contracts, contributing to sustainable practices in waste management in the wider region.
