Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) appointed a supplier to provide integrated domestic waste management and minimisation services for the British Geological Survey (BGS). The requirement covers non-hazardous refuse and waste treatment and disposal, with an emphasis on managing waste as an integrated service and reducing waste where possible. Delivery is across the United Kingdom. This is a public-sector environmental services requirement rather than a supply of equipment or construction works. Businesses relevant to this procurement are waste management operators able to provide domestic waste collection, treatment and disposal services for a public research organisation, alongside arrangements for minimisation and service performance management.

The procurement was awarded through a direct procedure below the applicable threshold and without competition. One lot was completed and awarded to UK Waste Solutions Ltd trading as Novati. The contract was signed on 15 July 2022, ran from 18 July 2022 to 17 July 2026, and had a value of £280,000 excluding VAT, or £336,000 including VAT. The contract was terminated on 17 July 2026 because it was completed. The award was active when recorded, while the procurement and contract are now complete. Performance arrangements included a measure for supplier-attributable missed collections: more than two missed collections in a 12-month period could result in a service credit.

This award indicates established demand from UKRI for an integrated domestic waste service supporting the British Geological Survey across the UK. A credible future competitor would need to manage non-hazardous refuse and waste treatment and disposal as a joined-up service, while also demonstrating practical waste-minimisation capability. The requirement favours an operator able to support scheduled collections, distinguish supplier failures from client-caused access problems, and maintain continuity arrangements during adverse weather. Strong performance control would be important: the contract used missed collections as a measurable service issue and linked repeated supplier-attributable failures to service credits. Relevant suppliers are therefore established waste operators with national delivery capability, operational resilience and robust performance reporting.
