Summary of the contracting process

Staffordshire County Council procured residual waste contingency services for East Staffordshire Borough Council. The requirement was to divert residual waste from its normal arrangements for a short-term contingency period, under refuse and waste-related services (CPV 90500000). The work is associated with East Staffordshire and the wider West Midlands area. The council is the public-sector buyer, while East Staffordshire Borough Council is identified as the area from which the residual waste is diverted. The requirement was treated as a single service lot and is suited to operators providing waste reception, treatment, transfer or disposal capacity capable of handling residual municipal waste. The selected provider, Willshees Waste & Recycling Limited, is a Burton-on-Trent-based SME specialising in waste and recycling services.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Staffordshire County Council used a selective, below-threshold award under an existing framework, without reopening competition. Willshees Waste & Recycling Limited was awarded the single lot, and the contract was signed on 25 June 2026. The contract runs from 10 August 2026 to 6 September 2026. Its value is £110,055 excluding VAT, or £132,066 including VAT. The award is for services and the contract is active. The procurement was non-competitive at call-off stage, so suppliers were assessed through the framework route rather than an open tender. The available record identifies residual waste diversion as the requirement and the framework award route as the basis for the procurement.

This award demonstrates a defined short-term requirement for residual waste contingency capacity in Staffordshire, with an SME waste and recycling operator selected to deliver it. A credible competitor for a future requirement from this buyer would need operational capacity for residual waste, suitable facilities and transport arrangements serving East Staffordshire and the wider West Midlands, and the ability to mobilise for a time-limited contingency service. Experience in refuse and waste-related services would be directly relevant, particularly the practical management, transfer, treatment or disposal of residual municipal waste. Suppliers should also be able to compete through an appropriate public-sector framework, understand below-threshold call-off procedures and demonstrate reliable service delivery at the scale required for a local-authority contingency arrangement.
