Summary of the contracting process

Bristol Waste Company Limited is procuring bulk haulage services for waste material collected from its Household Waste Recycling Centres and transfer stations. The requirement covers the collection and transport of waste arising from Bristol City Council’s household waste responsibilities, together with waste handled for commercial clients. This is a public road transport service for waste, with delivery activity in Bristol. The buyer is seeking a single provider to manage the haulage requirement. The opportunity is therefore relevant to waste logistics businesses, bulk haulage operators and transport providers able to collect waste from recycling and transfer facilities and move it as part of household and commercial waste disposal arrangements. The work supports Bristol Waste Company’s statutory and client-service obligations.

The procurement has reached tender: Bristol Waste Company invited offers through an open procedure. Suppliers must submit completed tender documents electronically through the ProContract tender messaging channel. Enquiries had to be submitted by 24 August 2026 at 23:59, and tender responses were due by 11 September 2026 at 12:00. The contract is scheduled to run from 5 November 2026 to 4 November 2028. Its estimated value is £900,000 excluding VAT, or £1,080,000 including VAT. There is one lot and one provider is sought. The contract award decision was due by 15 October 2026 at 23:59. Offers are evaluated on cost at 60%, quality of service at 30%, and sustainability and social value at 10%.

This opportunity suits an established waste haulage or logistics provider with the vehicles, drivers, operational management and capacity to collect and transport waste from multiple recycling centres and transfer stations. Suppliers should be able to support both household waste handled for Bristol City Council and waste arising from commercial clients. The single-provider structure may suit a business able to take overall responsibility for coordinating the service rather than delivering only a small specialist element. Strong service quality will be important, as it forms nearly a third of the evaluation. Businesses with credible sustainability and social value proposals will also be well placed, since these considerations contribute to the award decision alongside cost. Experience in waste transport operations would be directly relevant.
