UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Mid Suffolk District Council procured specialist litter clearance on high-speed road verges and slip roads along the A14, where substantial accumulations of litter had built up. The requirement is for litter collection services delivered in Suffolk. The buying organisation is Mid Suffolk District Council, a local public authority. The service is focused on roadside environments and requires clearance activity suitable for locations associated with a high-speed trunk road. The classification is CPV 90511300, litter collection services. The procurement covered one requirement for the A14 rather than a wider range of grounds-maintenance or waste-management services.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Mid Suffolk District Council used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was awarded to TRIPLEX INDUSTRIAL CONTRACTORS LIMITED, an active UK supplier, on 3 August 2026; the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 3 August 2026 to 10 August 2026. Its value is £53,880 excluding VAT and £64,656 including VAT. The requirement was evaluated and concluded as a single completed lot. The award covers litter collection services for the A14 requirement, with TRIPLEX INDUSTRIAL CONTRACTORS LIMITED as the selected supplier.

This procurement demonstrates a requirement for specialist roadside litter clearance on high-speed verges and slip roads, rather than routine litter picking in ordinary public spaces. A credible competitor for similar work would need to show that it can carry out substantial litter accumulations safely and effectively in an A14-type environment, with the operational capability suited to road verges and slip roads. The selected supplier is a small or medium-sized enterprise, indicating that this type of requirement can be delivered by an SME. Relevant experience in litter collection and specialist clearance, together with the capacity to work around high-speed-road conditions, would be central to competing when this buyer next needs the same service.
