UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs procured environmental services for the second pEPR Recycling Locator Service. The work supports PackUK by maintaining a single source of information for citizens about which packaging they can recycle and where, using the UK's postcode-based Recycling Locator. The requirement includes a strong and robust focus on packaging data and ensuring that the tool is accessible to all audiences seeking recycling information. Delivery covers the United Kingdom. The service is therefore suited to organisations able to develop, maintain or improve public-facing environmental information services, particularly those involving recycling data, location-based search and accessible digital tools.

This procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to the Waste and Resources Action Programme (WRAP). It used a direct award below the threshold without competition, with one completed lot. The contract was signed and started on 22 June 2026 and runs until 22 December 2026. Its value is £47,000 excluding VAT and £56,400 including VAT. The awarded service is classified as environmental services. The contract remains active, while the tender itself is recorded as complete. The buyer is the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, and the selected supplier is based in Banbury. The procurement was conducted under the Procurement Act 2023.

This award indicates demand for specialist environmental information services that help the public understand recycling options. A credible competitor for a future requirement from this buyer would need experience managing accurate, robust packaging and recycling data across the United Kingdom, together with the ability to support postcode-based search and location information. It would also need to demonstrate capability in delivering a public-facing digital service that works for a broad audience, including users with accessibility needs. Relevant strengths include environmental-sector knowledge, data governance, service maintenance, user-centred design and reliable information handling. The appointed supplier is an SME, showing that this type of requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist rather than only by a large technology or consultancy firm.
