Summary of the contracting process

Lisburn & Castlereagh City Council procured a waste wood collection and recovery service for its household recycling centres in the council area. The contractor is responsible for providing suitable containers at all sites, collecting the waste regularly, transporting it and arranging recycling and/or energy recovery. The service covers waste wood from council recycling centres, rather than general waste collections. The specification sets the minimum service requirements. This is a waste management service, including wood-waste handling and recycling or energy recovery, delivered across the council’s household recycling centre network in Lisburn and Castlereagh.

The procurement used an open procedure and has reached the award stage: McKinstry Skip Hire Limited was selected. The award was dated 26 October 2026, following a tender deadline of 2 October 2026. The awarded value is £4,122,000 including VAT. The contract period runs from 6 November 2026 to 31 October 2029, with an option to extend by any period or periods up to a further 48 months, potentially extending to 31 October 2031. There was one lot. Evaluation gave cost a 95% weighting and social value 5%. Two bids were received for the lot.

This award shows demand from Lisburn & Castlereagh City Council for a managed wood-waste service across its household recycling centres. A credible competitor would need the operational capacity to supply and maintain suitable containers at multiple sites, provide regular collections, transport collected wood and arrange recycling and/or energy recovery. Delivery must meet the council’s specification as a minimum, so capability across the collection and onward-recovery chain is relevant. The award was made through an open procedure and the evaluation placed most weight on cost, with a smaller social-value component. The lot was marked suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and both final-stage bidders were SMEs, indicating that the requirement was within reach of smaller suppliers as well as larger operators.
