Summary of the contracting process

Staffordshire County Council procured residual waste disposal services to divert residual waste arising from East Staffordshire Borough Council to Willshees Waste & Recycling Limited. The requirement covers the handling and disposal of residual, non-recyclable waste rather than recyclable materials or general waste collection. Delivery is in Staffordshire and the surrounding Staffordshire area. The buying organisation is Staffordshire County Council, a sub-central public authority. The appointed supplier is Willshees Waste & Recycling Limited, based in Burton upon Trent. This is a waste and refuse-related service, classified under CPV 90500000. The arrangement concerns a specific diversion service between the council and the appointed waste operator, rather than a broad, multi-service waste management contract.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. One lot was completed, with Willshees Waste & Recycling Limited selected as supplier. The contract was signed on 20 July 2026 and runs from 20 July 2026 to 26 July 2026. Its value is £55,825 excluding VAT, or £66,990 including VAT. Staffordshire County Council used a selective procedure, described as a below-threshold award under a framework. The call-off was non-competitive. The award covers the residual waste disposal service for the completed lot. The recorded procurement category is services. The contract is below the applicable threshold. No separate award date is recorded, but the signed contract date marks the formalisation of the arrangement.

This award demonstrates a council requirement for short-term residual waste diversion and disposal capacity, with waste redirected from East Staffordshire Borough Council to an external operator. A credible future competitor would need suitable facilities and operational capacity to receive, handle and dispose of residual waste safely, together with reliable transport and transfer arrangements serving Staffordshire. Experience in refuse and waste-related services would be directly relevant. The procurement route also indicates that suppliers able to access and perform work under the buyer’s framework arrangements may be well placed for similar requirements. Willshees Waste & Recycling Limited is recorded as an SME, showing that this type of service can be delivered by a specialist waste operator rather than only by a large national contractor.
