Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council is in the planning stage of a procurement process for a Waste Disposal & Tipping Framework titled "Waste Disposal & Tipping Framework_26". This procurement involves refuse and waste-related services and is based on the UK's legal framework, with an estimated contract value between £1,400,000 and £1,680,000. The framework, which anticipates starting on 1st December 2026 and concluding on 30th November 2030, seeks to engage suppliers through a preliminary market engagement that ends on 17th July 2026. Located in Leicester, UK, this procurement is designed to replace the Council’s existing waste disposal framework and involves services related to commercial waste from highways maintenance activities.

This tender presents growth opportunities for businesses specialising in waste management and disposal services, particularly those equipped to handle bulk disposal and skip services. The procurement's nature suggests suitability for both well-established companies and small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), emphasised by the Council’s interest in innovative solutions from the market. Companies with operational capabilities in the Leicestershire area will find this framework beneficial, given the scope includes waste handling at both Council sites and supplier sites. Engaging in this tender allows businesses to secure a foothold in public infrastructure service provision, expanding their portfolio in public authority contracts.
