UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Bath & North East Somerset Council purchased 40-yard waste containers. The requirement is for goods in the waste and rubbish container category, covering the supply of containers and bins for the council’s waste-related operations. The named buying organisation is Bath & North East Somerset Council, based in Bath. The awarded requirement concerns a single package of 40-yard containers rather than separate service activities or construction works. A supplier relevant to this procurement would therefore be engaged in supplying large waste containers or closely comparable equipment, with the operational capacity to provide the required quantity and arrange delivery for the council’s use. The procurement is a straightforward purchase of physical waste-management equipment.

This procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. Bath & North East Somerset Council used a direct procedure below the threshold without competition. The contract was signed on 12 August 2026 and awarded to SKIP UNITS LIMITED. The contract period runs from 17 August 2026 to 2 October 2026. Its value is £39,468 excluding VAT and £47,362 including VAT; the procurement description gives the inclusive figure as £47,361.60. The requirement is for 40-yard waste containers. The tender is recorded as complete, the award is active and the contract is active. The procurement has one completed lot, with no extensions available.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates a council requirement for large waste containers that can be met through a direct, below-threshold purchasing route. The selected supplier is a small or medium-sized enterprise, showing that this type of council purchase can suit an SME with a focused waste-container supply offer. A credible competitor for comparable work would need to supply 40-yard containers, understand the practical requirements of council waste operations and deliver physical equipment reliably. Relevant commercial capability includes a proven range of large waste and rubbish containers, dependable order fulfilment, delivery coordination and experience dealing with public-sector or other organised waste-management customers.
