UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Waste & Resources Action Programme (WRAP) commissioned a research and advisory service on good practice in collecting small waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) and batteries. The work covers a desktop study of local authority collections in England, supported by a survey of local authorities, and the identification of five or six authorities for case studies. The supplier must produce a good practice report and case studies to help local authorities build the business case for kerbside collection services. The published outputs will support local authority services through WRAP’s LA Support programme. The work is delivered for WRAP, whose address is in Banbury, England. The service is classified as survey services (CPV 79311000).

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded on 1 September 2026 to Circular Resource Specialists (CRS). It covered one lot and used a competitive selective procedure: a below-threshold award under a framework. The awarded gross value is £12,599. The contract period runs from 4 September 2026 to 31 December 2026. The selected supplier is an SME based in Penarth, Wales. The requirement was evaluated through the competitive framework award route; the published process data does not identify separate technical, quality or price weightings. A contract signature milestone was scheduled for 3 September 2026. The award remains active, while the tender itself is recorded as complete.

This procurement shows demand from WRAP for evidence-led waste and resource management research focused on local authority services. A credible future competitor would need experience researching household or local authority collection systems, particularly small WEEE and batteries, and the ability to combine desk research with structured surveys. It would also need to identify authorities with useful operational practice, develop robust case studies, and turn findings into clear practical guidance for public-sector decision-makers. Strength in analysis, stakeholder engagement, report writing and presenting a business case for kerbside services would be relevant. The work suits a specialist environmental consultancy, research organisation or SME able to deliver a concise study and publishable guidance for local authorities.
