UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board sought an onsite or offsite confidential waste shredding service for its sites across North Wales. The service is intended to cover approximately 300 collection points, including three main general hospitals and more than 100 community sites. NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership managed the procurement. The work is waste collection and secure shredding, serving locations throughout North Wales.

The Health Board invited offers through an open procedure. The tender exercise was subsequently cancelled: the buyer concluded it could not make a fair, consistent comparison because two material questions about consoles and bins had been omitted from the tender documents, leading to differing interpretations and substantially varied supplier submissions. The stated estimated value was £530,000 excluding VAT (£636,000 including VAT). The planned contract period was 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029, with possible two 12-month extensions. The buyer set the enquiry deadline at 22 July 2026, midday, and the submission deadline at 29 July 2026, midday. Evaluation was weighted 60% on cost and 40% on technical quality.

The requirement suits providers able to deliver secure confidential-waste shredding, either onsite or offsite, across a dispersed healthcare estate in North Wales. Suppliers would need the operational capacity to service around 300 collection points, including major hospitals and numerous community sites, and to manage collection and shredding consistently across those locations. The procurement was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises. Technical quality accounted for 40% of the evaluation, alongside cost, so bidders needed to demonstrate an offer that met the service requirements as well as competitive pricing. The buyer cancelled the tender after identifying omitted questions about consoles and bins, so suppliers should note that the exercise did not proceed to an award.
