Summary of the contracting process

Lisburn & Castlereagh City Council is procuring a waste wood management service for its household recycling centres. The requirement covers the provision of suitable containers at all participating sites, regular collection of waste wood, transportation, recycling and/or energy recovery. The service is classified as wood waste and refuse and waste-related services. The contractor must manage the material from collection through to its recycling or energy recovery route, in line with the minimum standards set out in the specification of requirements. Work will take place at the Council’s household recycling centres in the Lisburn and Castlereagh area. This is a service contract suited to waste operators, recycling businesses, waste logistics providers and firms with appropriate downstream recovery arrangements.

The procurement has reached tender: the Council invited offers through an open procedure, with tenders submitted electronically via the eTendersNI system. The submission deadline was 2 October 2026 at 23:59, and the intended award decision date was 20 October 2026 at 23:59. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2029, with an option to extend by any period or periods up to a maximum further 48 months, potentially until 31 October 2031. The estimated value is £3,435,000 excluding VAT, or £4,122,000 including VAT. There is one contract package. Evaluation is based on cost at 95% and social value at 5%.

This opportunity suits waste management and recycling operators able to provide containers across multiple council recycling-centre sites, organise regular collections and transport waste wood safely and reliably. Suppliers need practical arrangements for sorting, recycling and/or energy recovery, together with sufficient vehicles, containers, site coordination and operational capacity to maintain the required collection service. The specification sets the minimum service standards, so bidders should be able to demonstrate compliant processes, dependable logistics and suitable facilities or established recovery outlets. The procurement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises, making it relevant both to established waste contractors and capable specialist or mission-led operators. Social value contributes to the evaluation alongside cost.
