UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Barcud Shared Services is planning a Waste Management and Skip Hire Framework for Welsh housing associations, local authorities and other public sector organisations. The framework will provide access to waste services across Wales, including skip hire, waste collection, transportation, recycling and disposal. It is intended to support operational waste requirements while promoting environmental responsibility, regulatory compliance and value for money. The work is classified as waste management and environmental services, including refuse skips (CPV 44613700 and 90000000). Services will be delivered across Wales for public sector members. The arrangement is intended to create a network of suppliers able to provide reliable, compliant and sustainable waste solutions.

This procurement is at the planning stage: Barcud Shared Services has set out its intention to establish a framework, but this record is not an invitation to tender. The expected procedure is an above-threshold framework agreement with one lot, and the lot is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The planned contract period is from 26 October 2026 to 29 October 2029, with a maximum possible extension date of 23 October 2034. The estimated value is £8,000,000 excluding VAT and £9,600,000 including VAT. Preliminary market engagement is scheduled to close on 21 August 2026, and the buyer expects to publish the tender on 24 August 2026.

The framework is likely to suit specialist waste contractors, skip hire companies and integrated waste management providers serving Wales. Barcud Shared Services says it is seeking local and regional suppliers able to deliver reliably near its public sector members, so businesses with Welsh coverage, suitable vehicles and equipment, responsive collection and transport operations, and dependable disposal or recycling routes should prepare. Suppliers are expected to hold valid Waste Carrier Registration, comply with relevant environmental legislation and permitting requirements, and demonstrate health and safety competence. Evidence of responsible waste management and recycling practices will also be important. The open framework is intended to support continued access for new suppliers during its duration, creating a route for SMEs and local supply chains to prepare for future participation.
