UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council sought a clinical waste collection and processing service. The requirement covers the collection and treatment of clinical waste generated through the council’s activities, classified as medical and hazardous waste services. Delivery is associated with Bradford, where the council is based. This is a public-sector service contract rather than a supply or construction opportunity. The requirement would suit waste management operators with facilities and arrangements for collecting, transporting and processing clinical waste safely and lawfully. The procurement was presented as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises, so smaller specialist providers and mission-led organisations were within the intended supplier market.

The procurement reached tender: the council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. It was subsequently cancelled because the requirement was no longer needed. The enquiry deadline was 3 August 2026 at 11:00 UTC, and the tender submission deadline was 10 August 2026 at 11:00 UTC. The published contract period was 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2029, with an option for one 12-month renewal extending the maximum period to 31 August 2030. The estimated value was £75,000 excluding VAT and £90,000 including VAT. There was one lot. Offers were to be evaluated on price, quality and social value. Electronic submission was allowed.

This opportunity suited specialist clinical-waste contractors able to provide an end-to-end collection and processing service. Relevant suppliers would need practical capability in handling medical and hazardous waste, including suitable collection, transport, treatment and processing arrangements. Experience of operating safely within the clinical-waste environment would be directly relevant, as would the operational capacity to maintain reliable collections and compliant processing. The requirement was explicitly identified as suitable for SMEs and VCSEs, which indicates that participation was not limited to large national waste companies. Providers with established waste-management systems, appropriately trained staff, suitable vehicles and access to compliant processing facilities would have been well placed to compete, alongside organisations able to demonstrate strong quality and social-value delivery.
