Summary of the contracting process

Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council is procuring skip transport services across Neath Port Talbot. The work covers collecting and returning the Council’s 12-cubic-yard waste and recycling skips from locations throughout the county borough, then transporting them to Briton Ferry Waste Transfer Station in Neath for disposal or recycling. The contractor must also transport excess cardboard from the Council’s kerbside recycling service to Tawe Terrace in Pontardawe for bulking and temporary storage. This includes providing the required number of open-topped roll-on roll-off skips, each with an approximate capacity of 35 cubic yards, for cardboard storage and transport. The requirement is a public-sector waste transport service.

The procurement has reached tender: the Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Bids are submitted electronically through the eTenderWales portal. The deadline for enquiries was 17 August 2026 at 12:00, and the tender submission deadline was 21 August 2026 at 12:00. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029. The estimated value is £112,500 excluding VAT, or £135,000 including VAT. This is a single lot. The Council will evaluate bids on cost alone, weighted at 100%. Suppliers must register on the portal, express interest in the invitation to tender and follow the online response instructions.

This opportunity suits small and medium-sized enterprises with experience in commercial waste, recycling or skip transport operations. Relevant suppliers will need the vehicles, lifting equipment and operational capacity to collect, return and transport Council-owned 12-cubic-yard skips across Neath Port Talbot, including deliveries to Briton Ferry Waste Transfer Station. They must also be able to provide approximately 35-cubic-yard open-topped roll-on roll-off skips for cardboard bulking, temporary storage and onward transport at Pontardawe. The requirement is best suited to contractors with reliable local coverage, suitable waste-handling and transport arrangements, and the capacity to manage routine movements between multiple collection locations and the specified transfer and storage sites.
