Summary of the contracting process

Peterborough City Council is procuring a service to treat street-sweeping waste collected by the council’s mechanical sweepers. The material comes from cleansing surfaced town-centre public spaces and roadside gutters throughout Peterborough and includes cigarette butts, food packaging, leaf litter, weeds and grit collected from pavements and roads. The council is acting as the Waste Disposal Authority and requires a competent contractor to manage treatment of these materials. This is a waste treatment and environmental services requirement, classified under CPV 90000000. Delivery is across the Peterborough authority area. The opportunity is for organisations providing waste treatment, refuse, cleaning or related environmental services, particularly those able to handle mixed material arising from routine street cleansing operations.

The procurement reached tender: Peterborough City Council invited offers through an open procedure. Enquiries were due by 11 August 2026 at 16:00, and bids were due by 17 August 2026 at 12:00. Electronic submission was allowed in English. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2031, with two optional 12-month extensions and a latest possible end date of 30 September 2033. Its estimated value is £560,000 excluding VAT, or £672,000 including VAT. Price carries 80% of the evaluation weighting and quality 20%. The procurement is above the relevant threshold, and the council expected to finalise its award decision by 2 September 2026.

This opportunity suits established waste treatment and environmental services contractors with the operational capability to receive, process and treat mixed street-sweeping materials. Suppliers should be able to manage waste containing litter, organic material, weeds and grit generated from roads and pavements, and to provide a dependable service for a public authority operating across Peterborough. Relevant experience in handling waste from mechanical street-cleaning or similar municipal cleansing activities would be directly applicable. The requirement is likely to favour businesses with suitable treatment facilities, transport and handling arrangements, and enough capacity to support repeated collections or deliveries over a multi-year service period. Providers able to demonstrate consistent service quality alongside competitive pricing are well placed under the stated evaluation approach.
