UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council intends to procure services for the haulage, treatment, recycling or recovery, and final disposal of combined street-sweeping and gully-emptying waste. The requirement covers the collection and onward management of non-hazardous waste arising from street cleaning and drainage maintenance. The council is using the market engagement stage to understand the services and solutions available from potential providers, and to obtain feedback and guidance before shaping the procurement. The work is to be delivered in the United Kingdom. This is a waste-management services requirement rather than a general cleaning contract, and should interest businesses able to manage the movement, processing, recycling, recovery and disposal of material from municipal street-sweeping and gully-cleansing activities.

This process is at the planning and preliminary market-engagement stage; it is not an invitation to tender. The council expects to use a single lot and intends to publish the next notice on 1 October 2026. Market engagement is scheduled to end on 14 August 2026 at 5pm, following an extension to the original timetable. The anticipated contract period is 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2028, with renewal provisions allowing the arrangement to run until 31 March 2031. The estimated value is £600,000 excluding VAT, or £720,000 including VAT. The council is seeking market feedback to inform the eventual procurement exercise, including advice on what providers can offer and how the requirement should be structured.

The future requirement is likely to suit specialist waste contractors, transfer and haulage operators, and treatment or recovery businesses with the facilities and operational capacity to receive combined street-sweeping and gully waste. Relevant suppliers should be able to coordinate transport, waste acceptance, treatment, recycling or recovery, and compliant final disposal as an integrated service. Experience handling non-hazardous municipal waste and material from street-cleaning or drainage operations would place a supplier well for the eventual competition. Businesses that can explain available treatment routes, recovery outcomes, disposal arrangements, service capacity and practical delivery models should use the engagement stage to influence the council’s understanding of the market and prepare for the later procurement.
