UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Luton Council procured services to analyse the composition of several household waste streams. The work falls within environmental issues consultancy services and is intended to provide detailed evidence about the materials present in household waste. Delivery is in the Luton area. The requirement was managed by Luton Council as the public-sector buyer and covered one waste composition analysis requirement. This is a specialist environmental services opportunity rather than a supply of waste collection equipment, treatment infrastructure or general consultancy. Businesses whose work focuses on waste audits, sampling, material composition studies, environmental data collection or related analysis would be the closest fit. The requirement is specific to household waste streams and the council’s need for compositional analysis.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Resource Futures Limited. It used a below-threshold limited competition, with one completed lot. The contract was signed on 10 August 2026 and runs from 11 August 2026 to 12 November 2026. Its value is £35,650 excluding VAT, or £42,780 including VAT. The awarded supplier is Resource Futures Limited, a Bristol-based small and medium-sized enterprise. The contract is active and relates to the waste composition analysis requirement for Luton Council. The published procurement data identifies the service category as environmental issues consultancy services. The contracting process was conducted under the Procurement Act 2023 and the requirement was below the applicable threshold.

For a supplier assessing future demand from Luton Council, this award demonstrates a defined need for specialist household waste composition analysis delivered through a limited-competition route. A credible competitor would need practical capability to examine several household waste streams, design and carry out appropriate sampling or sorting work, and turn the findings into reliable environmental analysis. Experience in waste audits, compositional studies and consultancy for public-sector or local-authority clients would strengthen its position. The successful supplier’s status as an SME also indicates that the work can be delivered by a focused specialist rather than only by a large national contractor. Businesses with established waste-analysis methods, competent technical staff and the capacity to produce clear evidence-based reporting are the closest match.
