Summary of the contracting process

Warwickshire County Council procured an inert waste collection, haulage and reprocessing service for waste from specified household waste recycling centres. The requirement covers safe collection and transport within agreed response times, acceptance of waste delivered directly or on the Council’s behalf, and the provision and operation of suitable Environment Agency-permitted delivery and end-destination facilities. The supplier must safely reprocess the inert waste in line with legislation and regulatory requirements, producing recycled or reusable outputs that meet quality standards or end-of-waste criteria. At least 95% of the waste by tonnage must be reused or recycled. The service is a waste treatment and disposal service delivered for the Council in the West Midlands. It is classified under CPV 90510000, refuse disposal and treatment.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Brinklow Quarry Limited on 17 September 2026. The award value is £564,750 excluding VAT and £677,700 including VAT. The contract is due to run from 1 October 2026 to 1 October 2029, with a possible extension of 24 months to 1 September 2031; the planned signature date was 30 September 2026. It used an open procedure, with bids submitted electronically in English. The tender submission deadline was 19 August 2026 at 12:00, enquiries closed on 12 August 2026 at 12:00, and the award decision period ended on 8 September 2026. One bid was received, from an SME. Evaluation weighted cost at 70%, non-cost quality at 20% and non-cost social value at 10%. The Council also reserved the right to buy additional related inert-waste services.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for an operator able to combine waste logistics, permitted infrastructure and high-volume material recovery for a local-authority waste stream. A credible competitor would need reliable collection and haulage capacity, the ability to respond within specified times, and Environment Agency-permitted delivery and end-destination facilities suitable for receiving and reprocessing inert waste. Strong evidence of safe, legally compliant operations and consistent production of recycled or reusable outputs would be important, particularly the ability to achieve at least a 95% reuse or recycling rate by tonnage. Suppliers should also be prepared to show measurable service quality and social value, since these formed part of the evaluation. The contract was suitable for SMEs, indicating that a focused regional operator with the necessary facilities and operational capacity could compete.
