Summary of the contracting process

North East Lincolnshire Borough Council is procuring consultancy support for the re-procurement of its waste disposal contract. The adviser will support market engagement, options assessment, preparation of procurement documents, evaluation, contract award and mobilisation. The work is intended to maintain continuity of statutory waste disposal services, provide technical assurance at key decision points, and help ensure the future arrangement is evidence-based, deliverable, affordable and capable of meeting the council’s service, environmental and value-for-money objectives. This is a specialist public-sector waste procurement and technical advisory service, combining research and consultancy with knowledge of refuse and waste services. The client is North East Lincolnshire Borough Council, based in Grimsby, with the assignment supporting its waste disposal service.

The procurement has reached tender: the council has invited offers through an open procedure. It is a single-lot services contract with a gross value of £200,000. Enquiries must be submitted by 1pm on 5 October 2026, and tenders by 1pm on 8 October 2026. The intended contract period is 1 December 2026 to 7 December 2029, with the award decision due by 15 November 2026. Evaluation gives 70% to quality and 30% to cost. Quality headings cover understanding of the requirement, proposed approach and methodology, relevant experience and market insight, team and resourcing, risks, quality and technical assurance, added value and innovation, and social or local value. The methodology criterion has a minimum raw score requirement of 3. Electronic submission is allowed in English via YORtender.

This opportunity suits consultancies and advisers experienced in public-sector waste disposal procurements, market engagement and service options appraisal. Strong candidates will be able to produce robust procurement documentation, support evaluation and award, advise through mobilisation, and provide credible technical assurance at major decision points. The brief favours teams with relevant waste-sector experience and market insight, a clear delivery methodology, dependable resourcing and a realistic programme. Evidence of managing procurement risks and dependencies, applying quality assurance, and translating technical analysis into affordable, deliverable service outcomes will be important. Suppliers should also be prepared to demonstrate added value and innovation, social or local value contributions, and an understanding of statutory waste-service continuity. The council identifies the opportunity as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.
