Summary of the contracting process

Hull City Council procured a clinical-waste service covering the collection and disposal of used needles and syringes, together with the equipment used to provide needle and syringe services. The work is for the council’s service in Hull. It combines safe handling and collection of clinical waste with its proper disposal; suppliers focused only on general refuse collection may not match the requirement. The contract title also refers to disposal of the provision equipment, so the scope is not limited to waste collection alone. This is a service contract rather than a supply of equipment or construction project.

The procurement is complete and a supplier has been selected. Hull City Council awarded the single-lot contract to Steven Barber trading as Envirotec Pest Management and Hygiene Services (Envirotec). The contract was signed on 25 September 2026 and runs from 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2031. Its estimated value is £125,000 excluding VAT (£150,000 including VAT). The council used a below-threshold open competition. The award was based on price (60%) and quality (40%): delivery methodology (15%), compliance and confidentiality (10%), service continuity and transparency (10%), and social value (5%). Small and medium-sized businesses were considered suitable to compete. The tender deadline was 22 July 2026; clarification questions were due by 15 July 2026.

This award shows demand from Hull City Council for a specialist service that can collect and dispose of used needles and syringes and manage the disposal of associated provision equipment. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate reliable clinical-waste handling and disposal, a clear delivery methodology, and robust compliance and confidentiality arrangements. Evidence of service continuity and transparent operating practices would matter, alongside a clear social-value offer. Price carried the largest share of the evaluation, but quality made up a substantial part, so low cost alone would not address the council’s stated priorities. The council identified the requirement as suitable for SMEs, indicating that a smaller supplier could compete if it can meet the operational, compliance and service standards.
