UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Wandsworth intends to procure waste collection and cleansing services across the London Borough of Wandsworth. The planned scope covers three service areas: household and other waste collection, street cleansing, and estate cleansing, including both interior and exterior areas. This is a services procurement covering refuse, waste-related activities, urban cleaning and sanitation. The council is considering how these services should be delivered in the future, and the current scope remains subject to development. The work will suit providers able to deliver borough-wide operational services across collection, public-realm cleansing and estate environments, potentially through one integrated service arrangement.

This procurement is at the planning stage and is not an invitation to tender. The council is conducting preliminary market engagement through questions in an SMTE document, with responses expected by 15 September 2026. It expects a subsequent notice around 1 February 2027. The intended procurement is above the applicable threshold and currently comprises one lot, marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The indicative contract period is 1 April 2028 to 31 March 2036, with renewal or extension potentially available until 31 March 2044. The stated estimated value is £900 million excluding VAT, or £1.08 billion including VAT. These term and value figures are indicative, and the council has made no final delivery decisions.

This will suit established waste management, street cleansing and commercial or estate cleaning providers, including SMEs capable of supporting large public-sector operations. Relevant suppliers are likely to include businesses with experience in waste collection logistics, vehicle and equipment management, cleansing of highways and public spaces, and internal and external estate cleaning. Providers that can coordinate several operational workstreams across a London borough may be well placed when the procurement reaches the market. The scope may also suit joint ventures, consortia or specialist subcontracting arrangements combining waste, street-cleaning and estate-service capability. Businesses should use the engagement stage to explain delivery models, service integration, operational risks and practical improvements they could offer.
