Summary of the contracting process

Barcud Shared Services, based in Cardiff, is in the planning stage for establishing a Waste Management and Skip Hire Framework, which is set to provide compliant and environmentally responsible waste services across Wales. The framework, titled "BSS26017 - Waste and Skip Hire Framework," falls under the services category, focusing on waste management solutions including skip hire, waste collection, transportation, recycling, and disposal. A preliminary market engagement notice is scheduled until 21 August 2026, indicating the prior steps before the anticipated tender announcement at the end of August 2026. The delivery region includes all of Wales, promising a broad geographical reach for the prospective suppliers. The framework agreement is valued at a gross amount of £9,600,000 and will commence on 26 October 2026, running through 29 October 2029 with a possible extension to 2034.

This framework presents significant growth opportunities for businesses in the waste management sector, particularly those with operations within Wales. It is well-suited for local and regional providers, such as specialist waste contractors, skip hire companies, and integrated waste management providers who meet the criteria of valid Waste Carrier Registration, compliance with environmental legislation, health and safety aptitude, and a commitment to sustainable practices. The open nature of the framework allows new suppliers to join throughout its life, fostering continuous competition, innovation, and access to local supply chains. By serving a wide range of public sector clients, businesses can expect to enhance their market presence and operational scope in the region.
