Summary of the contracting process

The City & County of Swansea procured green and garden waste collection, haulage and treatment services, delivered in Swansea. The appointed service requires the contractor to transport waste to one or more composting facilities identified by the tenderer. Those facilities must have proven, robust processing capability and sufficient capacity to maximise composting into an end-use product and minimise residual waste. The contractor must also find suitable end uses for the resulting product in designated markets or sectors. Delivery must comply with the waste resource framework, PAS 100 and all relevant legislation. This is a waste and environmental services requirement, classified under refuse and waste-related services. The requirement covers a single lot and was considered suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

The procurement is complete and Griffiths Waste Management Ltd was selected for the contract on 7 August 2026. The awarded value is £4,150,000 excluding VAT and £4,980,000 including VAT. The contract is due to run from 1 September 2026 to 1 September 2027, with renewal or extension options of up to 60 months. The open procedure was used, with tenders due by 27 July 2026 and enquiries accepted until 20 July 2026. Two bids reached the final stage, both from SMEs. Evaluation was based on price at 70% and quality at 30%; quality covered service delivery, contract monitoring and communication, contingency planning, recycling rate and use of the final product. A standstill period ended on 21 August 2026.

This award shows that Swansea buys an integrated green-waste service rather than collection alone. A credible future competitor would need operational capability for collection and haulage, access to a composting facility, and demonstrable capacity to process substantial volumes reliably. The service also calls for a strong composting process that limits residual waste and produces a compliant end-use product. Relevant experience should include applying the waste resource framework and PAS 100, meeting environmental legislation, and securing dependable outlets in designated markets or sectors. Suppliers should be able to evidence service delivery controls, contract monitoring and communication, contingency arrangements, recycling performance and product-use planning. The competition attracted two final-stage SME bids, indicating that specialist smaller waste-management businesses can be viable competitors for this requirement.
