UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Carmarthenshire County Council procured approximately 2,240,000 plastic bags for kerbside recycling collections of plastic film and wrap. The requirement is for the supply of polythene waste and refuse bags, rather than collection, processing or other recycling services. Delivery is for Carmarthenshire, in Wales, supporting the council’s household recycling operation. The buyer is Carmarthenshire County Council, a Welsh local authority. This is a goods requirement suited to manufacturers, distributors and specialist suppliers of polythene sacks or bags that can produce or source large volumes to a consistent specification and organise delivery to a council’s operational requirements.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded through a competitive mini-competition under Lot 10 of the Refuse & Recycling Products Framework (860_26), using a selective, below-threshold framework award route. A single supplier was selected: Imperial Polythene Products Ltd. The award is active and the contract was signed on 28 May 2026. The contract runs from 1 June 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £54,000 excluding VAT, or £64,800 including VAT. The requirement was evaluated through the framework mini-competition process. The tender record describes one completed lot and confirms that the award relates to the supply of the recycling bags for Carmarthenshire County Council.

This award demonstrates established local-authority demand for high-volume plastic recycling bags used in kerbside film and wrap collections. Suppliers well placed for comparable work would have reliable access to polythene waste and refuse bags, the production or supply capacity to handle approximately 2.24 million units, and the quality-control systems needed to deliver consistent products at scale. They would also need dependable warehousing, distribution and delivery planning for a Welsh council’s collection service. The route to market is significant: this requirement was bought through a competitive mini-competition under a dedicated refuse and recycling products framework. Imperial Polythene Products Ltd is recorded as an SME, showing that specialist smaller suppliers can satisfy this type of requirement.
