Summary of the contracting process

West Kent Housing Association procured fly-tipping removal services to support its estates cleaning and grounds maintenance contracts. The work covers the removal and disposal of illegally dumped waste and related refuse and waste services. Delivery is in the Sevenoaks area of Kent. West Kent Housing Association is the buying organisation, with the requirement linked to the upkeep of its housing estates and outdoor areas. The procurement is categorised as a service rather than goods or works. The scope is therefore relevant to waste operators, environmental services businesses and contractors that can respond to fly-tipping incidents as part of wider estate, grounds or cleansing operations. The requirement concerns a single service package rather than separate lots.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Sevenoaks District Council. The award was made on 16 July 2026 and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2027, with a gross value of £125,000. West Kent Housing Association used a direct award below the applicable threshold without competition. The award covers the complete fly-tipping removal services requirement. The selected supplier is Sevenoaks District Council, and the contract is active. Evaluation was therefore not conducted through a competitive tender: the recorded route was a below-threshold direct procurement without competition. The arrangement is for services supporting estates cleaning and grounds maintenance rather than a construction or supply contract.

This procurement indicates established demand from West Kent Housing Association for responsive fly-tipping removal connected with housing-estate cleaning and grounds maintenance. A credible future competitor would need practical capability in identifying, collecting, removing and disposing of illegally dumped waste across the Sevenoaks area, with the operational capacity to support estate-based service contracts. Relevant businesses are likely to include waste and environmental services contractors, local-authority or housing-estate cleansing providers, and grounds maintenance firms with waste-removal capability. Experience of coordinating with a public-sector housing client, responding to incidents across multiple estates and managing lawful waste handling would strengthen a competing offer. The award to a large local public body also shows that local knowledge, public-sector delivery capability and dependable operational coverage may be important.
