Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council is seeking suppliers for highway-maintenance waste services in Leicestershire. The work covers bulk collection of highway waste in the north and south of the county, bulk collection of dewatered gully waste, provision and collection of skips in both areas, and accessible tipping facilities. The tipping facilities may be in Leicestershire or within ten miles of its boundary. The requirement is to remove waste generated by highway maintenance in line with the Waste Duty of Care Code of Practice. This is a waste collection and disposal opportunity (CPV 90500000). Suppliers may bid for one or more lots, and successful suppliers may be appointed to multiple lots. The Council intends to use an NEC4 framework contract, with suppliers selected for work under each lot through the framework’s selection procedure.

The buyer invited offers through an open procedure. The framework is divided into six lots, and suppliers can bid for one or more. For lots covering bulk waste collection and skips, the Council will appoint the five highest-scoring fully assessed bidders per lot; appointment to the tipping-facilities lot is for all fully assessed bidders meeting its location requirement. Lots 1–5 are evaluated on price alone; lot 6 uses a quality criterion and requires bidders to pass stages 1–5 of the assessment. Questions were due by 23 October 2026 at 12:00, and bids by 6 November 2026 at 12:00. The contract period is 1 December 2026 to 30 November 2030. The stated total value is £4 million excluding VAT (£4.8 million including VAT). Lot values excluding VAT are £750,000 each for lots 1 and 2, £1 million for lot 3, and £500,000 each for lots 4, 5 and 6.

This opportunity suits waste-management businesses able to handle highway-maintenance waste, including bulk collection and dewatered gully waste, as well as skip providers and operators of accessible tipping facilities. Suppliers can target the service lines and parts of Leicestershire that fit their operations rather than bidding for the whole requirement. The Council identifies all six lots as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses. Lots 1–5 require capacity to deliver the relevant collection or skip service in the specified northern or southern area, while lot 6 requires tipping facilities in Leicestershire or close to its boundary. The buyer seeks suitably qualified and experienced providers, and appointed suppliers must work under an NEC4 framework, with service providers selected for each lot through its selection procedure. Offers for lots 1–5 compete on price; lot 6 centres on quality and passing the stated assessment stages.
