Summary of the contracting process

Bath & North East Somerset Council procured the collection and recycling of used tyres. The requirement covers taking tyres into custody, arranging their removal and processing them through suitable recycling routes, rather than supplying new tyres or providing general waste services. It is a council-led environmental and materials-handling requirement, with activity associated with the council’s area in and around Bath. The awarded goods classification is used tyres, although the practical requirement is a collection and recycling service. This is relevant to tyre recyclers, scrap merchants, waste-management businesses and logistics operators able to collect used tyres and arrange compliant recycling or onward processing for a public-sector customer.

The procurement has completed and the contract was awarded to R.J.KING & SONS (SCRAP MERCHANTS) LIMITED through a below-threshold limited competition. The contract was signed on 28 July 2026 and runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2027, with one available 12-month extension to 1 August 2027. The awarded value is £37,872 excluding VAT, or £45,446 including VAT. The procurement comprised one completed lot. It was treated as a goods procurement and used a limited procedure, with the opportunity restricted to a limited competition because it was below threshold. The selected supplier is an SME. The contract remains active and is held by Bath & North East Somerset Council.

This award demonstrates a recurring council requirement for used-tyre collection and recycling at a modest operational scale. A credible future competitor would need reliable collection vehicles, suitable storage and handling arrangements, and established routes for recycling or onward processing of used tyres. Experience as a scrap merchant, tyre recycler, waste operator or specialist logistics provider would be directly relevant. The successful supplier’s SME status indicates that the work can be delivered by a focused smaller business rather than only by a national waste-management group. Businesses should be able to evidence dependable service delivery, environmental compliance, traceability of collected tyres and the capacity to manage a council-wide collection requirement through a limited-competition route.
