Summary of the contracting process

Lincolnshire County Council procured services to collect and treat street cleansing residues presented by Waste Collection Authorities across Lincolnshire. The requirement supports the council’s statutory duty to dispose of this material, maintain recycling performance, minimise landfill and provide a compliant, cost-effective waste service. The work falls within environmental and refuse-related services, including non-hazardous refuse and waste treatment and disposal. Delivery is across Lincolnshire. The buyer is Lincolnshire County Council, acting as a local authority and Waste Disposal Authority. The requirement concerns an ongoing operational waste service rather than construction, consultancy or supply of equipment, so it is most relevant to operators with facilities, vehicles, processes and environmental controls for receiving, treating, recovering or disposing of street cleansing residues.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to SUEZ Recycling and Recovery UK Ltd on 11 September 2026. It used an above-threshold open procedure, with bids submitted electronically in English. The tender deadline was 16 July 2026 at 16:00, enquiries closed on 9 July 2026 at 11:00, and the award decision period ended on 17 August 2026. Three bids were received, including two from SMEs. The estimated tender value was £1.3m gross. The awarded value is £2,173,632.71 gross (£1,811,360.59 excluding tax). The contract period runs from 25 September 2026 to 25 September 2029, with two possible 12-month extensions up to 25 September 2031. Price carried 60% and quality 40%.

This award demonstrates established demand from Lincolnshire County Council for compliant treatment and disposal of street cleansing residues at county scale. A credible future competitor would need the operational capacity to receive material from Waste Collection Authorities, manage non-hazardous waste treatment and disposal, and sustain reliable service across Lincolnshire. Relevant strengths include waste recovery and recycling capability, practical routes to minimise landfill, appropriate treatment or disposal facilities, robust environmental management and evidence of legal compliance. The evaluation shows that price was important but quality also carried substantial weight, so suppliers should be able to evidence dependable performance, service continuity, sound technical processes and value for money. The opportunity was identified as suitable for SMEs, although the awarded supplier is a large waste-sector operator.
