Summary of the contracting process

Oxfordshire County Council is planning a procurement process titled "Hazardous Waste Fly Tipping" aimed at tackling the collection and disposal of hazardous flytipped waste across Oxfordshire. This procurement falls under the services category and is currently in the planning stage. A preliminary market engagement notice was published on 3rd July 2026, with an online questionnaire for market engagement scheduled to close on 29th July 2026. The contract is set to commence on 23rd November 2026 and is expected to run until 22nd November 2028, with a potential extension until 2031. The procurement process is classified under the CPV code 90523000, which pertains to toxic waste disposal services, excluding radioactive waste and contaminated soil, reflecting the contract's environmental focus.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in waste management services, particularly those capable of handling hazardous materials. With a contract value of up to £150,000 and eligibility for SMEs and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), there are ample opportunities for these businesses to expand their operations within the region. Given the specific focus on hazardous waste, companies with experience and compliance capability with UK environmental regulations would be well-positioned to compete. Additionally, the potential for contract renewal offers a longer-term growth prospect for successful bidders, further enhancing business sustainability in a key public sector area.
