Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Islington bought waste management sacks for garden waste, recycling and food waste. This is a goods requirement for sacks and bags (CPV 18930000), supporting the collection and handling of household waste. Delivery covered England, including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, the South East and the South West. The requirement was arranged as one overall package. It is relevant to manufacturers, distributors and wholesalers of waste sacks and associated disposable packaging, particularly businesses able to supply different sack types for garden, recycling and food waste collection services. Suppliers serving local authorities, waste contractors or public-sector collection schemes may find the requirement closely aligned with their existing product range and distribution capability.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Imperial Polythene Products Limited. The procedure was below threshold, with the specific method recorded as unknown. The award was made on 1 May 2026 and the contract was signed on that date. The contract runs from 18 May 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £72,338 excluding VAT, or £86,865.60 including VAT. One supplier was selected for the single package covering the waste management sacks requirement. The contract is recorded as active. The outcome indicates a defined local-authority purchase for nationwide-in-England delivery rather than a framework or multi-supplier arrangement. The selected supplier is an SME based in Colnbrook.

This award shows demand from the London Borough of Islington for a broad waste-sack supply covering garden waste, recycling and food waste, with distribution across England. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need a dependable range of sacks and bags suited to these waste streams, consistent product quality and the production or sourcing capacity to support public-sector collection operations. Reliable stockholding, scalable fulfilment and delivery arrangements covering multiple English regions would be important, as would experience supplying councils, waste-management companies or comparable large collection programmes. The awarded supplier is an SME, indicating that businesses do not necessarily need to be large national corporations if they can demonstrate suitable manufacturing or wholesale capability, responsive logistics and the ability to manage a single, sizeable local-authority supply requirement.
