Summary of the contracting process

Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council bought skip collection and transport services across the county borough. The work covers collecting and returning the Council’s 12-yard waste and recycling skips from locations it directs, then taking their contents to Briton Ferry Waste Transfer Station for disposal or recycling. The contractor also transports surplus cardboard from the Council’s kerbside recycling service to Tawe Terrace, Pontardawe, for bulking and temporary storage. This includes supplying open-topped roll-on/roll-off skips of approximately 35-yard capacity to store and move the cardboard. The procurement is for waste and recycling logistics, including refuse transport, collection and skip provision (CPV 90512000).

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Davies Skips Ltd. The Council used a below-threshold open competition, with cost weighted at 100% of the evaluation. One lot covered the service across Neath Port Talbot County Borough. The contract was signed on 29 September 2026 and runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029. Its value is £112,500 excluding VAT (£135,000 including VAT). The tender submission deadline was 21 August 2026, and the deadline for enquiries was 17 August 2026. The contract provides for a three-year service period.

For suppliers considering similar work for Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council, this award demonstrates demand for a combined skip logistics and recycling-support service. A credible competitor would need to collect and return Council-owned 12-yard skips from changing locations across the borough and reliably transport waste and recycling to the designated transfer station. The requirement also calls for the capacity to supply open-topped roll-on/roll-off skips of about 35 yards and move surplus kerbside cardboard to the Council’s bulking and temporary-storage site. Suppliers should be equipped to coordinate collections, transport, skip availability and disposal or recycling routes across several locations. The Council accepted an SME as supplier, and the award was evaluated solely on cost, indicating that price competitiveness was central in this procurement.
