Summary of the contracting process

The City of London is procuring clinical-waste collection and disposal services for its Animal Reception Centre. The waste stream includes blood, urine, faeces and animal bodies. This is a services requirement focused on the safe, regular removal and disposal of clinical waste generated at the centre in the City of London. It is relevant to businesses providing specialist clinical-waste collection, transport and disposal, particularly those able to manage waste from animal-care or veterinary settings. The requirement is for the City of London authority as buyer, with delivery centred on its Animal Reception Centre rather than a general waste-management service across multiple sites.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. One lot was awarded to Rentokil Initial UK Limited. The award was active and the contract was signed on 27 March 2026. The contract runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027, with a gross value of £42,000. The evaluation basis was therefore the buyer’s direct-award route rather than a competitive comparison of tenders. The contract covers the clinical-waste collection services associated with the Animal Reception Centre, including the waste types described in the requirement.

This award demonstrates recurring demand from the City of London for specialist clinical-waste services at its Animal Reception Centre. A credible future competitor would need practical capability to collect and dispose of blood, urine, faeces and animal bodies, together with the operational capacity to provide dependable service for an animal-reception environment. Relevant experience in clinical-waste handling and in supporting veterinary, animal-care or similar facilities would help demonstrate fit. Suppliers should be able to manage the full collection-and-disposal service rather than only general waste removal, and show that their vehicles, staff, processes and disposal arrangements can support a public authority’s regular operational requirement.
