Summary of the contracting process

North Northamptonshire Council procured a one-off waste removal and disposal service for a fly-tipped trailer and associated waste. The work falls within refuse and waste-related services and is intended to remove the trailer and dispose of the waste appropriately. The council, based in Corby, is the buying organisation. Delivery covered North Northamptonshire and several neighbouring areas across central England, including parts of Northamptonshire, Bedfordshire and the surrounding counties. This is a practical operational requirement rather than a construction, consultancy or general facilities-management contract. It is most relevant to waste carriers, recovery operators, transfer stations and disposal providers able to manage fly-tipped trailers and mixed waste for a local authority.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to COWAN RECOVERY LIMITED, an SME. The award was made on 8 August 2026, with the contract signed on the same date and covering that day only. The contract value is £29,030 excluding VAT and £34,836 including VAT. It was a below-threshold quotation process seeking prices from a number of local providers. The procurement used one completed lot and the award is recorded as active. The requirement was evaluated through the quotation process; the available record does not state a separate quality, price or scoring breakdown. The procurement was handled as a services contract by North Northamptonshire Council.

This award demonstrates demand from North Northamptonshire Council for responsive, local waste-removal capability, particularly where fly-tipped trailers and associated waste require coordinated recovery and disposal. A credible competitor for similar requirements would need suitable vehicles and equipment for recovering trailers, the operational capacity to attend council locations, and the ability to handle, transport and dispose of waste lawfully. Experience of dealing with fly-tipping, mixed waste and time-sensitive clearance work would be directly relevant. Local coverage matters because the original route sought quotations from local providers. Waste carriers, recovery firms and disposal operators that can combine collection, recovery and compliant disposal, while providing clear quotations and reliable delivery, are the closest commercial comparators.
