Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council intends to procure services for treating residual and bulky waste streams across Leicestershire. The scope includes bulky household waste from household recycling and waste sites, segregated POPs/WUDS, mattresses, street litter, bulk street-litter loads and non-hazardous fly-tipped waste. The service may also cover waste received directly at waste transfer stations or treatment facilities from district and borough councils in Leicestershire, and from other local authorities. Requirements include shredding waste for delivery to a designated recovery facility, a Hi-Ab lorry for collecting and treating large non-hazardous fly-tips, and a roll-on/roll-off vehicle with driver when required. This is a waste treatment and related refuse service delivered in Leicestershire.

This procurement is at the planning stage: the council has announced its intention to buy, but has not invited tenders. It expects to use an open procedure for a single planned lot, with the procurement above the relevant threshold. The council’s expected date for the next notice is 1 January 2027. The planned contract period is 1 September 2027 to 31 August 2032. The procurement is for services and is intended to be covered by the Procurement Act 2023. The published plans identify the treatment scope and operational requirements; further competition details will apply when the procurement reaches the market.

The work is likely to suit waste management and treatment businesses able to handle varied non-hazardous residual waste, bulky household waste, mattresses, street litter and fly-tipped material. Relevant suppliers should be able to receive and process waste at suitable transfer or treatment facilities, including segregated POPs/WUDS, and arrange recovery-facility delivery after shredding where required. Operational capability may include a Hi-Ab lorry for large fly-tips and a roll-on/roll-off vehicle with driver for additional requirements. The council has indicated that the lot is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. Businesses with flexible vehicle capacity and experience serving local-authority waste streams should prepare for the later tender.
