Summary of the contracting process

Caerphilly County Borough Council is currently conducting a procurement process for establishing a Framework for the Provision of a Recycling and Haulage Service for Dry Mixed Recyclable (DMR) Waste Materials. The tender is at its active stage under an open procedure, in accordance with The Procurement Act 2023. The procurement is focused on the industry category of refuse and waste-related services, serving the UKL16 region of the United Kingdom. Essential dates in this process include a submission deadline on 17 August 2026, with contract awards expected by 17 September 2026. The project spans from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2028, with a potential two-year extension. The contract's estimated value is £2.4 million gross.

The establishment of this framework is an excellent opportunity for businesses in the waste management and recycling sectors to gain significant growth, particularly those with a focus on sustainable practices and compliance with Welsh Government statutory targets. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as well as voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) are deemed suitable for participation. The framework aims for a high-performance output with a minimum 80% recycling rate and full diversion from landfill. Companies that can offer innovative recycling solutions and demonstrate efficiency in handling large volumes of DMR waste would be well-positioned to benefit from this opportunity. The procurement will be awarded based on the most advantageous tender, considering both price and essential submission documents such as the Schedule of Rates and health and safety documentation.
