UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Bletchley Council is procuring a waste and street-cleaning service to empty 76 dog bins and 94 litter bins. The dog bins must be emptied twice each week, on either Monday and Thursday or Tuesday and Friday. The litter bins must be emptied once a week, on the same day each week. This is a council service contract for refuse and waste-related services, covering the council’s bin network in the West Bletchley and Milton Keynes area. The work suits operators able to plan and carry out regular scheduled collections across multiple public locations, maintain reliable service records and provide clear technical proposals for the required service.

The procurement has reached tender: West Bletchley Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Enquiries had to be submitted by 18 September 2026 at 12:00, and tender submissions were due by 6 October 2026 at 12:00. The three highest-scoring tenderers will be shortlisted for interview, after which quality scores may be adjusted before the preferred tenderer is selected. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 May 2027 to 30 April 2030. Its estimated value is £192,000 excluding VAT, or £230,400 including VAT. Evaluation is based on 60% quality, covering the supplier’s technical submission, and 40% cost, including the completed pricing document and payment terms.

This opportunity suits small and medium-sized enterprises providing scheduled waste collection, litter-bin servicing or related environmental maintenance. Suppliers need the operational capacity to service 170 bins consistently, with twice-weekly dog-bin collections and weekly litter-bin collections. Strong candidates will be able to demonstrate route planning, reliable staffing and vehicles or equipment suitable for routine collections at public sites, together with effective arrangements for responding to service requirements and recording completed work. The evaluation places greater weight on the technical submission than on price, so bidders should be prepared to explain their delivery approach, quality controls, service management and ability to maintain dependable performance throughout the three-year contract.
