Summary of the contracting process

The Waste & Resources Action Programme (WRAP), acting on behalf of the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, procured waste and environmental services to scale up a shared waste provision project for workplaces and other non-domestic premises. The work tests how neighbouring workplaces can share bins, collections or central waste facilities, particularly where small and micro businesses produce relatively low waste volumes. Its purpose is to reduce waste-management costs and the number of bins required, improve operational efficiency and support compliance with recycling requirements. The project will generate real-world evidence on the feasibility, benefits and implementation requirements of shared provision across geographic areas such as high streets and industrial estates.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded through a below-threshold open competition. The single lot had a gross estimated value of £75,000. Green Gain (Leeds) Limited was awarded the work on 17 August 2026 for £69,960.25 gross. The award contract period runs from 19 August 2026 to 30 November 2026. The tender closed on 7 August 2026, with enquiries ending on 4 August 2026. Evaluation weighted price at 40%, understanding of the requirements and relevant experience at 15%, methodology and delivery approach at 25%, risk management and stakeholder coordination at 10%, and data collection, monitoring and reporting capability at 10%. One bid was received and evaluated.

This opportunity demonstrates demand for practical consultancy and delivery support in shared waste and recycling provision for non-domestic premises. A credible future competitor would need relevant experience of waste-management or environmental services, and a clear understanding of how shared bins, shared collections and shared facilities operate for workplaces, landlords, facilities-management providers and local stakeholders. Strong methodology and delivery planning would be important, alongside the ability to identify and manage implementation risks and coordinate multiple parties across a defined geographic area. The requirement also favours suppliers able to collect, monitor and report robust evidence on costs, operational efficiency, recycling compliance, bin reduction and local environmental benefits. The procurement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

Notice Information

Notice Title

DEFRA Shared Provisions Scale-up Project - RM Programme

Notice Description

WRAP, on behalf of DEFRA, is exploring practical ways to reduce the associated cost and space impacts on workplaces and other non-domestic premises (NDPs) of Simpler Recycling. One potential approach which has been identified is shared waste provision, which could help lower costs, improve operational efficiency and reduce the number of bins required at a site. This project is scaling up the learning from previous pilot work in this area and has been developed to test how shared provision could work in practice and to generate real-world evidence on its feasibility, benefits and implementation requirements. Background One way of delivering this approach is through container sharing, where neighbouring workplaces share waste and recycling containers, for example on a high street or across an industrial estate. More broadly, shared provision describes arrangements in which a small number of workplaces in the same geographic area work together to access waste management services. Its primary purpose is to help reduce the cost burden on small workplaces while supporting compliance with the new recycling requirements. WRAP considers that the main forms of shared provision or collection are: 1. Shared bins - usually an informal arrangement between two or more workplaces. 2. Shared collection - where waste and recycling collections are typically organised by a facilities management company or landlord, and the cost of waste and recycling removal from the premises by a caretaker or cleaner is included within the lease, rent or service charge. This applies only where the same management company or landlord is responsible for the premises. 3. Shared facility - where a central waste facility is provided for workplaces to use, with employees taking waste and recycling to shared bins or a designated collection area. This model is more commonly used on industrial estates, with costs included within the lease, rent or service charge. Shared provision offers several potential benefits: * reduced costs for workplaces; * reduced costs for collectors; and *fewer bins and an improved local environment or street scene. Shared waste provision may be particularly suitable for small and micro workplaces that produce relatively low volumes of waste, allowing costs to be shared while supporting access to a wider range of recycling collections.
