Summary of the contracting process

Warwickshire County Council has initiated an open tender process, titled "Inert waste collection, haulage and reprocessing," focusing on the refuse disposal and treatment industry. The contract entails collecting inert waste and transporting it to permitted facilities for safe reprocessing and disposal within the UK. Following the tender stage, interested parties must submit their tenders via the In-Tend Warwickshire County Council portal by 19th August 2026. Bidders should note that the award period is expected to conclude by 8th September 2026, and the contract is set to commence on 30th September 2026, lasting three years, with possible extensions. The total estimated value of the contract is £480,000, and the tender's main criteria focus on cost and quality requirements. The project operates under the legal framework set by the UK's 2023/54 legislation.

This tender creates significant opportunities for businesses specialising in refuse disposal and haulage services to expand their operations. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in inert waste management can significantly benefit from this contract, especially those meeting stringent environmental compliance and quality standards. The requirement for a safe collection and reprocessing of inert waste offers an attractive market opportunity, particularly for firms with existing infrastructure or partnerships with compliant facilities. Additionally, the three-year contract term with options for renewal up to two additional years allows businesses to secure a stable and long-term partnership with a reputable public authority like Warwickshire County Council.
