Summary of the contracting process

Rutland County Council procured a replacement waste compactor for Cottesmore Household Waste Recycling Centre in Rutland. The requirement concerns the supply of rubbish-compacting equipment for use in household waste and recycling operations, alongside related refuse, cleaning and environmental services. The work is for the council’s waste management facility in Cottesmore, serving Rutland. The named buying organisation is Rutland County Council. This is relevant to businesses that manufacture, supply or provide services associated with waste compactors and equipment used in recycling-centre operations. The procurement is focused on replacing an existing compactor rather than delivering a wider waste collection, treatment or recycling service. The stated classifications cover rubbish compactors and refuse, cleaning and environmental services, so suppliers should assess their fit against both the equipment requirement and its operational context.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a direct below-threshold procedure without competition. One lot was awarded to THETFORD INTERNATIONAL PRODUCTS LIMITED. The award is active and the contract is active. The award date is not provided separately; the contract was signed on 1 July 2026. The contract period runs from 1 July 2026 to 31 July 2026. Its value is £34,421.70 excluding VAT, or £41,306.04 including VAT. The contract is below the applicable threshold. The requirement was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender, and the published outcome records a single supplier. The contract concerns the replacement waste compactor for Cottesmore Household Waste Recycling Centre in Rutland.

This outcome demonstrates a defined requirement for replacement waste-compacting equipment within Rutland’s household waste recycling infrastructure. A credible future competitor would need to supply equipment suitable for a working recycling-centre environment and show that it can meet the council’s operational requirement for replacing a compactor. Relevant strengths would include direct experience with rubbish compactors, understanding of refuse and environmental-service settings, dependable equipment supply, and the capacity to complete a replacement contract within a short delivery and implementation window. The selected supplier is a small or medium-sized enterprise, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by an appropriately capable specialist rather than only a large national contractor. Businesses tracking similar council requirements should position themselves around specialist compactor supply and responsive public-sector delivery.
