UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council procured food waste skips for its waste management requirements. The purchase is for physical skip units rather than a waste collection, treatment or consultancy service. The goods category is refuse skips (CPV 44613700). The buying organisation is the council, based in Bradford, so the requirement is associated with council operations in the Bradford district. The selected supplier, Gileskips manufacturers Ltd, is a small or medium-sized enterprise based in Walsall. This opportunity is therefore relevant to manufacturers and suppliers of food waste skips, refuse containers and related commercial waste-handling equipment serving local authorities. Businesses offering only waste collection or processing services would not match the stated purchase.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. It was divided into one lot. Two bids were received, one reached the final stage, and Gileskips manufacturers Ltd was awarded the contract on 7 July 2026. The award value is £31,500 excluding VAT and £37,800 including VAT. The contract period is 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. The award is active, with a signature milestone scheduled for 1 August 2026. The successful supplier was the sole final-stage bidder. The process was run by City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council under the Procurement Act 2023, using a limited competition below the applicable threshold.

This award provides a clear example of Bradford Council’s demand for food waste skips and the scale of a single annual supply requirement. It shows that a specialist skip manufacturer or supplier can compete successfully through a below-threshold limited competition, rather than only through a large open tender. A credible future competitor would need to manufacture or source refuse skips suitable for food waste operations, manage supply to a local authority’s requirements, and demonstrate dependable delivery and product quality. The award also indicates that an SME can satisfy this type of council purchase. Businesses should therefore build relevant local-authority supply experience, maintain clear product specifications and pricing, and monitor this buyer’s established requirement when the contract period ends.
