Summary of the contracting process

The Waste & Resources Action Programme (WRAP) commissioned business waste research in Northern Ireland. The work is to collect information on waste profiles and the waste services available at a sample of business sites, ideally through surveys and in-person site visits. The supplier is expected to use WRAP’s pre-populated questionnaire, carry out fieldwork and record on-site waste provision; other methods to improve data quality may also be used. The resulting site-level baseline data will supplement WRAP’s existing dataset and help inform government policy on recycling targets and the Circular Economy Package. This is market research and fieldwork, rather than waste collection or treatment. Delivery is at business premises across Northern Ireland.

The procurement is complete: WRAP selected Perceptive Insight Market Research Ltd, and the contract was signed. The award was made on 23 September 2026 through an open competition below the relevant threshold. One lot was awarded for £15,000 gross. The contract runs from 28 September to 18 December 2026, with an optional extension; the stated maximum extent is 15 January 2027. The original estimated lot value was £18,000 gross. Two bids reached the final stage. Evaluation weighted methodology at 40%, price at 30%, team at 20% and delivery at 10%. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This award shows demand for research suppliers able to combine survey design or administration with practical, in-person fieldwork at business premises across Northern Ireland. A credible competitor would need to gather consistent, site-level information on businesses’ waste profiles and existing waste services, work accurately with a buyer-provided questionnaire, and deliver reliable records that can be integrated into an established dataset. The buyer also valued a clear methodology, a capable delivery team and a workable fieldwork plan, alongside price. The work is a focused research assignment rather than a large waste-management operation; a specialist SME can be relevant if it can organise visits across a sample of business sites and maintain data quality. The findings need to support policy analysis of recycling targets, so careful, usable baseline data is central.

Notice Information

Notice Title

NHM Data Improvements

Notice Description

The objective of this work is to gather business waste profile data, ideally collected from surveys, from a sample of NI business units to record their on-site waste provision. We would expect this work to be carried out in person using WRAP's pre-populated questionnaire. Bidders are expected to undertake fieldwork and make on-site records of service provision, although additional approaches to improve data quality can be considered. Improved bottom-up data from site assessments will be added to the current dataset that WRAP has from previous years. Improved baseline data will help WRAP better inform the government of realistic impacts of proposed policies in achieving the Circular Economy Package (CEP) 65%+ municipal recycling target (by 2025), including both and the Climate Change Act (CCA) 70% recycling target (by 2030). The detail of the CCA target is yet to be defined but is expected to include municipal, as well as commercial and industrial (C&I) waste. The CCA target is not anticipated to include agricultural waste. To access this opportunity; https://www.delta-esourcing.com/ Access Code: BJ999FFGRZ
