Summary of the contracting process

Christchurch Town Council is procuring waste collection, removal and disposal services for its parks, open spaces and other public spaces in Christchurch. The service covers public litter bins, dog-waste bins, recycling provision and mixed waste streams, with responsive arrangements for seasonal demand, events, overflows, fly-tipping and ad hoc clearances. The contractor will be expected to maintain clean and welcoming public areas, support the Council’s environmental objectives, provide value for money and comply with relevant legislation and industry standards. This is a public-sector waste collection service (CPV 90511000), delivered in public-facing outdoor locations for Christchurch Town Council. The requirement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

The procurement has reached tender: Christchurch Town Council has invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Questions must be submitted by 14 August 2026 at 23:59, and tenders must be submitted by 21 August 2026 at 23:59. Questions and submissions are to be emailed to the Council’s procurement address, with all requested documents included. The contract is valued at £86,000 excluding VAT (£103,200 including VAT). It runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029, with a discretionary 12-month extension potentially taking it to 30 September 2030. Evaluation is based on service delivery and methodology (35%), price and value for money (30%), environmental sustainability (15%), experience and references (10%), and contract management and resourcing (10%).

This opportunity suits an experienced waste-management contractor able to provide safe, reliable and responsive collection services across parks, open spaces and other high-footfall public areas. Relevant evidence should include similar waste collection or management contracts delivered within the last five years, client references and satisfactory performance. Strong bidders will demonstrate capacity to manage litter, dog-waste and recycling bins, mixed waste, seasonal work, events, overflows, fly-tipping and emergency clearances. The service requires effective supervision, staffing, contingency cover, communication, reporting and complaint handling. Environmental capability is important: bidders should understand the waste hierarchy, reduce landfill, improve recycling and segregation, manage contamination, use authorised disposal routes and provide waste-transfer information. Low-emission vehicles, efficient routing and continuous improvement will also support the bid.
