UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Health and Safety Executive bought secure disposal services for end-of-life IT equipment, peripherals and other waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE). The requirement covers collection and disposal using cost-effective, sustainable and secure methods that comply with IT security secure-disposal standards and WEEE regulations. The supplier must collect equipment from all HSE locations across the UK, providing nationwide coverage. The service is categorised as refuse and waste-related services (CPV 90500000). This is a single-service requirement managed for HSE’s Technology Division, which is responsible for ensuring that obsolete IT kit is disposed of appropriately. It is relevant to specialist IT asset disposal, WEEE recycling and secure technology decommissioning businesses with nationwide operational reach.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Stone Technologies Limited trading as Converge Technology Solutions on 21 August 2026. The award is for £65,817 excluding VAT, or £78,980.40 including VAT. The contract runs from 10 September 2026 to 9 September 2028, with an optional 12-month extension available to 9 September 2029. HSE used a below-threshold limited competition and directly invited bidders offering nationwide collection. Four bids were received at the final stage, all from SMEs. The procurement was evaluated through this limited competition; specific award criteria are not stated. A contract signature was scheduled for 3 September 2026. The requirement comprised one lot.

This award demonstrates established demand from a central government buyer for secure, nationwide IT asset disposal and WEEE services. A credible future competitor would need to collect from dispersed public-sector sites across the UK and manage the full disposal chain securely, rather than provide only local waste collection. Relevant capability includes secure handling and destruction or recycling of end-of-life IT equipment and peripherals, documented chain of custody, data-security controls, and compliance with WEEE requirements. Businesses should also be able to evidence sustainable disposal methods and reliable nationwide logistics. The competition attracted four SME bids, showing that smaller firms can compete where they can demonstrate sufficient geographic coverage, operational capacity and specialist compliance expertise.
