Summary of the contracting process

Worcestershire County Council and Herefordshire Council procured specialist financial advisory services for their Integrated Waste Management Services Contract with Mercia Waste Management Ltd. The work covers reviewing proposed contract variations and their financial effects, assessing changes in waste and environmental legislation, and modelling scenarios for contract extensions or re-procurement. It also includes assessing value for money, affordability and whole-life costs; advising on financial risk allocation and mitigation; evaluating alternative service delivery models; supporting negotiations on revised or new commercial arrangements; attending meetings; and providing financial insight for governance, assurance and regulatory compliance. Services are delivered for waste management arrangements in Worcestershire and Herefordshire. The procurement is categorised as financial consultancy services.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct award for additional or repeat services and an extension or partial replacement. The award decision was made on 27 May 2026 to KPMG LLP. The awarded value is £570,000 excluding VAT, or £684,000 including VAT. The contract was signed on 11 July 2026 and runs from 11 July 2026 to 19 January 2029, with a maximum extension date of 19 January 2032. The contract includes options for additional purchases and renewal of up to three years, subject to the service-delivery option chosen. There was one completed lot. The award was made for specialist ongoing advice, with the supplier’s established knowledge of the existing arrangement supporting the direct-award rationale.

This requirement indicates demand for a senior financial advisory provider able to work within complex, long-running public waste contracts and advise two councils jointly. A credible future competitor would need strong financial modelling and scenario-analysis capability, including testing affordability, value for money and whole-life cost implications of service changes. Relevant experience should include analysing the financial impact of waste, environmental and related legislation, advising on risk allocation and mitigation, and supporting commercial negotiations on variations, extensions, re-procurement and alternative delivery models. The work also suits a firm able to provide governance, assurance and regulatory-compliance advice, explain financial consequences clearly to public-sector decision-makers, and attend meetings as required. Familiarity with integrated waste management arrangements would strengthen a supplier’s position.
