Summary of the contracting process

London North West University Healthcare NHS Trust bought total waste management services for an interim period while its substantive procurement was completed. The requirement covers waste-tip management services, classified under CPV 90533000, for the Trust’s operations in Harrow. Central London Community Healthcare NHS Trust managed the procurement through the North West London Procurement Service. The service is categorised as a public-sector service rather than goods or works, and was arranged as a single requirement. The successful provider is Grundon Waste Management Limited, a large waste management business based in Oxford. The procurement was intended to maintain essential waste management provision for London North West University Healthcare NHS Trust during the transition to its longer-term arrangement.

The procurement has been awarded and the resulting contract is active and signed. Grundon Waste Management Limited was selected through a direct award for one completed lot. The award decision was dated 14 July 2026, with the standstill period ending on 24 July 2026; the contract was signed on 28 July 2026. The contract runs from 28 July 2026 to 30 November 2027. Its value is £540,000 excluding VAT, or £648,000 including VAT. The direct award was justified by the need to maintain continuity of essential waste management services while the ongoing competitive procurement was completed, with interim payments made under an existing service arrangement. The lot was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and the contract is above the relevant threshold.

This award shows an NHS trust’s continuing need for a single provider to manage waste services and waste-tip operations without interruption. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need practical capability in total waste management, reliable day-to-day service delivery, and sufficient operational capacity to support essential healthcare activity. Experience of working with public-sector or healthcare clients would help demonstrate understanding of continuity, service reliability and the consequences of disruption. Suppliers should also be able to take responsibility for a broad waste-management requirement rather than offering only an isolated disposal service. The opportunity may suit specialist waste-management companies, larger operators, or smaller firms able to demonstrate the capacity and service resilience expected for this buyer.
