Summary of the contracting process

Greenshaw Learning Trust procured a single-supplier waste management service for 10 schools in Gloucestershire. The requirement covers refuse and waste-related services, including refuse collection. The Trust is a public-sector education organisation based in Sutton and the work is for its schools across the Gloucestershire region. The procurement is categorised as services. The arrangement is intended to support the Trust’s school estate rather than a single site, so relevant suppliers would need to organise collection and waste-management provision across multiple educational locations. The contract also allows new schools joining the Trust in the region to be added, subject to performance and commercial evaluation, which may broaden the operational footprint during the relationship.

The procurement has reached the award stage and is marked complete. Greenshaw Learning Trust used an above-threshold open procedure. Eight bids reached the final stage, including three from SMEs. SUEZ Recycling and Recovery UK Ltd was selected as supplier on 31 July 2026. The award is valued at £197,274 excluding VAT and £236,729 including VAT. A standstill period runs to 12 August 2026. The contract is due to run from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2029, with a maximum extent to 31 August 2033 through two possible two-year extensions, dependent on performance. Evaluation weighted pricing at 40%, written quality responses at 50%, and written social-value responses at 10%.

This award demonstrates recurring demand from a multi-school education trust for coordinated refuse collection and wider waste-related services across Gloucestershire. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need the operational capacity, vehicles, workforce, scheduling and management systems to serve 10 schools reliably, while accommodating additional schools joining the Trust where commercially agreed. The successful supplier was a large waste and recycling business, indicating that scale and established delivery capability were relevant in this competition, although three SMEs also reached the final stage. Suppliers should be able to explain service quality clearly in written responses, demonstrate meaningful social value for the education setting, and provide commercially competitive contract pricing.
