Summary of the contracting process

Thurrock Council is procuring a waste haulage and disposal service covering two linked activities. The contractor will collect and dispose of waste deposited at the Council’s Household Waste Recycling Centre. It will also operate the haulage and disposal chain from a waste transfer station, including bulking and sorting waste delivered by Council staff. The service covers waste from public-realm collections, kerbside residual-waste collections, green waste, food waste, mixed dry recyclables, bulky waste and persistent organic pollutants. This is a waste and refuse-related service for Thurrock Council, with activity centred on the Council’s recycling-centre operations and the contractor’s waste transfer station and disposal arrangements. The procurement is for one suitably qualified contractor to provide the complete service.

The procurement has reached tender: Thurrock Council invited offers through an open procedure. Enquiries were due by 20 July 2026 at 12:00, and tender submissions were due by 10 August 2026 at 12:00. Offers are evaluated 70% on price and 30% on answers to quality questions. The contract is planned to run from 13 December 2026 to 12 December 2029, with an option to extend for up to a further two years, to 12 December 2031. The estimated value is £12,097,160 excluding VAT and £14,516,592 including VAT. The award decision is due by 6 October 2026 at 23:59. Electronic submission is allowed, and bids must be in English.

This opportunity suits an established waste-management contractor able to provide an end-to-end service rather than a single collection activity. Bidders need the operational capability to receive waste at a transfer station, bulk and sort different waste streams, arrange haulage and complete compliant disposal or onward processing. Relevant experience should include household recycling-centre operations, waste transfer, public-realm and kerbside waste, green and food waste, mixed dry recyclables, bulky waste and persistent organic pollutants. The requirement is suited to a supplier with sufficient vehicles, plant, transfer-station capacity, waste-handling systems and operational staff to manage varied incoming materials and Council-delivered waste. A contractor must also be able to coordinate the recycling-centre and transfer-station elements as one integrated service and demonstrate its approach through quality responses.
