UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Mid Suffolk District Council procured plastic wheeled bins for its waste management operations. The requirement covers 180-litre, 240-litre and 360-litre plastic bins, classified as waste and rubbish containers and bins. The purchasing organisation is Mid Suffolk District Council, a public authority based in Ipswich. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. This is a goods procurement rather than a service or works contract, and the requirement is focused on the supply of standardised wheeled containers in several capacities. Businesses operating in the manufacture, distribution or wholesale supply of durable plastic waste bins, particularly suppliers able to provide multiple bin sizes to a public-sector specification, would be the closest commercial match. The procurement was divided into one completed lot covering the bin requirement.

The procurement has been awarded following a selective procedure using an award under a framework, without a competitive call-off. The contract was awarded to SSI SCHAEFER PLASTICS UK LIMITED on 28 January 2026. The award value is £420,000 excluding VAT and £504,000 including VAT. The contract period runs from 4 August 2026 to 29 February 2028, with a possible 12-month renewal extending the maximum period to 28 February 2029. The award is active and the tender is complete. One supplier was selected for the single lot. The requirement was above the relevant threshold. The contract is associated with a future signature milestone due on 4 August 2026, although the award date remains 28 January 2026.

This award indicates established demand from Mid Suffolk District Council for plastic wheeled waste bins across three common capacity ranges. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need reliable access to, or manufacture of, durable plastic waste containers and the ability to supply different sizes under one public-sector arrangement. Consistent product quality, specification control and dependable delivery across the United Kingdom would be commercially relevant, as would experience serving councils or other organisations with recurring waste-container needs. Suppliers should also be prepared to operate through a framework-based purchasing route and to demonstrate the operational capacity needed for a substantial, multi-size order. The successful supplier is an SME, showing that this type of public-sector goods contract can suit a focused specialist rather than only a large corporate provider.
