Summary of the contracting process

Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council procured haulage and processing services for kerbside mixed recyclates collected from its Blowers Green Depot. The materials are plastic, cans, glass and cartons. The work covers transporting the recyclates and processing them for recycling, within Dudley and the surrounding delivery area. This is a public-sector waste and recycling services requirement, classified under refuse and waste-related services and refuse recycling services. It is relevant to waste management operators, recycling processors and haulage providers able to manage mixed recyclable materials from a council depot. The council is the buying organisation and the requirement relates to its municipal kerbside recycling service.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through an open procedure. Biffa Waste Services Limited was selected for the single lot at an awarded gross value of £3,096,000, with the award dated 21 September 2026. The award remained pending during a standstill period ending 30 September 2026. The contract period is 2 October 2026 to 1 October 2029, with two possible extensions: 2 October 2029 to 1 October 2031 and 2 October 2031 to 1 October 2033. The initial tender deadline was 23 July 2026 at 13:00, enquiries closed on 13 July 2026 at 17:00, and the award decision period ended on 31 August 2026. Evaluation weighted price at 55% and quality, including social value, at 45%. Four bids reached the final stage.

This award demonstrates substantial, recurring demand from Dudley Council for the collection-side haulage and processing of mixed kerbside recyclates, rather than a one-off supply of equipment or materials. A credible future competitor would need operational capacity to collect material from Blowers Green Depot, transport mixed loads reliably and process plastic, cans, glass and cartons through suitable recycling facilities. The evaluation also shows that a competitive offer needs to combine price with demonstrable service quality and social value. Four final-stage bids, including one from an SME, indicate that the requirement can attract both large waste-services companies and smaller capable operators. Businesses with established recycling outlets, dependable haulage resources, robust quality controls and evidence of delivering council or comparable recycling services would be well placed when this requirement returns to the market.
