Summary of the contracting process

Boston Borough Council procured the supply and delivery of refuse sacks for its waste, recycling and environmental services. The requirement covers several types of polythene waste and refuse sacks, including commercial waste sacks, litter bin sacks, litter-picking sacks, domestic waste sacks and heavy-duty recycled waste sacks. This is a goods supply requirement rather than a works or service contract, with delivery across England. The council is the buyer, while Public Sector Partnership Services Ltd facilitated the procurement process. The requirement is relevant to manufacturers, wholesalers and distributors of refuse sacks, polythene packaging or related waste-management consumables, particularly businesses able to provide multiple sack types and arrange deliveries across a broad geographic area.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. Imperial Polythene Products Limited was selected for the single lot. The award was made on 14 July 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 14 July 2026 to 31 March 2029, with an option to extend for a further 12 months, potentially taking the maximum end date to 31 March 2030. Its value is £25,177.14 excluding VAT, or £30,212.57 including VAT. The awarded contract is active. The available information identifies the supply scope and limited-competition route, but gives no further details of the evaluation criteria or participation requirements.

This award demonstrates established public-sector demand for a broad refuse-sack range supporting council waste, recycling and environmental operations. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need to supply commercial, domestic, litter-bin, litter-picking and heavy-duty recycled sacks, rather than a single product line. It would also need dependable distribution arrangements capable of serving customers across England. The successful supplier is an SME, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist rather than only a large national group. Businesses with proven manufacture or wholesale access to polythene refuse sacks, reliable fulfilment across multiple regions and the ability to handle varied product specifications are the closest commercial comparators for this buyer’s requirement.
