UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Carmarthenshire County Council bought food waste caddies for household kerbside recycling collections. The requirement covers two sizes: 23-litre caddies and 5-litre caddies, intended for residents to separate food waste for collection. The goods category is waste and rubbish containers and bins (CPV 34928480). The buyer is Carmarthenshire County Council, based at County Hall in Carmarthen, and delivery is for the council’s household recycling service in the United Kingdom. This is a straightforward supply requirement rather than a construction, installation or waste-treatment contract. It is relevant to manufacturers, wholesalers and distributors of domestic recycling containers, particularly suppliers able to provide multiple caddy sizes and support local-authority collection schemes.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to IPL PLASTICS (UK) LIMITED as the single supplier. The award was made on 14 July 2026, with the contract running from 15 July 2026 to 31 March 2027. The contract value is £67,575 excluding VAT, or £81,075 including VAT. The council used a selective mini-competition under Lot 7 of the ESPO Refuse & Recycling Products Framework (860_26), with competition between framework suppliers. The contract is below the applicable threshold. The award relates to one completed lot and has active contract status. The recorded outcome is therefore a framework call-off for the supply of food waste caddies, rather than an open standalone tender.

This award demonstrates established local-authority demand for high-volume household food waste caddies supporting kerbside recycling. Suppliers well placed for a future requirement would be manufacturers or specialist distributors of durable domestic waste containers, with the production or sourcing capacity to provide more than one standard caddy size in a coordinated supply. Experience supplying councils, recycling programmes or other public-sector collection services would help demonstrate credibility, as would reliable logistics for delivery to a Welsh local authority and the ability to meet defined product specifications consistently. The route to market is also significant: suppliers seeking similar work would need to understand and participate in relevant framework arrangements, then compete effectively in a mini-competition. A single-supplier award indicates that dependable fulfilment and clear product compliance are important commercial considerations.
