Summary of the contracting process

Redditch Borough Council procured the supply of polythene waste and refuse sacks and bags for its waste and environmental operations. The requirement is for goods rather than services or works, and was sourced through the ESPO Managing Waste and Environment framework, Lot 10. Delivery is across the United Kingdom. The buying organisation is Redditch Borough Council, based in Redditch. Suppliers in this market would need to provide suitable polythene sacks and bags in accordance with the council’s requirement and framework arrangements. The procurement concerns the ongoing supply of consumable waste-management products, rather than collection, disposal, consultancy or other waste services.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded. Redditch Borough Council used a closed framework agreement and made a direct award without reopening competition; the process was below threshold. The contract was awarded to Imperial Polythene Products Limited on 31 July 2026 and signed the same day. The contract runs from 31 July 2026 to 31 July 2028. Its value is £25,000 excluding VAT, or £30,000 including VAT. One lot was awarded, covering the supply of polythene waste and refuse sacks and bags. The selected supplier is a small or medium-sized enterprise. The award is active and the contract is active.

This procurement provides a clear indication of Redditch Borough Council’s demand for polythene waste and refuse sacks through an established waste and environmental purchasing route. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need a dependable supply capability for these consumable products, consistent quality and the capacity to fulfil council-scale orders over a multi-year contract. Experience supplying public-sector or waste-management customers would help demonstrate understanding of operational requirements, ordering patterns and delivery expectations. Suppliers should also consider whether they can access or participate in the relevant ESPO framework route, since this purchase was made through that framework by direct award. The incumbent is an SME, showing that the requirement can suit a focused specialist supplier.
