UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Nottingham City Council is procuring a food waste reprocessing service to receive, process and treat source-separated food waste from commercial sources. The requirement is expected to expand later to household and municipal food waste. The service must deliver high environmental performance, comply robustly with applicable law, including Animal By-Products requirements where relevant, provide value for money and demonstrate diversion from landfill in line with the Waste Hierarchy. This is a waste and refuse-related service, classified under CPV 90500000. Delivery is in the United Kingdom, for Nottingham City Council. The requirement is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement and is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Suppliers will need to support the Council’s waste management objectives through compliant treatment and demonstrable environmental outcomes.

The procurement has reached tender: Nottingham City Council invited offers through an open procedure. It is a single-lot service with an estimated value of £600,000 excluding VAT, or £720,000 including VAT. Enquiries were due by 26 August 2026 at 12:00, and offers were due by 1 September 2026 at 12:00. The Council expected to complete evaluation and award by 25 September 2026. The contract period is 19 October 2026 to 18 October 2028, with an option to renew, potentially extending the term to 18 October 2031, at the Council’s discretion. Bids may be submitted electronically in English through the specified procurement portal. Evaluation is weighted 70% to price and 30% to quality.

This opportunity suits waste management, organics recycling and food waste treatment operators with facilities and processes capable of receiving, processing and treating source-separated commercial food waste. Strong candidates will be able to demonstrate legally compliant operations, including appropriate handling of Animal By-Products where applicable, and reliable environmental controls. Evidence of measurable diversion from landfill and alignment with the Waste Hierarchy will be important to the quality assessment. Suppliers should also be able to provide robust reporting that allows treatment outcomes and environmental performance to be verified, while offering a commercially competitive service. The expected future expansion into household and municipal food waste makes relevant additional capacity, adaptable operations and experience across different food waste sources useful strengths.
