UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University of Bedfordshire is procuring removal services for its operations, covering the collection, clearance and disposal of items and waste. The requirement includes removal-related waste services involving wood, leather, textiles, rubber and plastics, together with refuse and waste management and disposal-site services. It is a service contract delivered in the United Kingdom, with the buyer based at University Square in Luton. Suppliers should therefore be able to provide organised removal and clearance operations, arrange appropriate handling of different waste streams, and support disposal through suitable facilities. The requirement is relevant to removal companies, commercial clearance providers, waste management operators and businesses that combine collection, sorting, transport and disposal services. The published scope is presented as one lot covering the full requirement.

The procurement has reached tender: the University of Bedfordshire invited offers through an open procedure. Enquiries were due by 29 September 2026 at 12:00, and offers were due by 16 October 2026 at 12:00. Electronic submission was allowed in English. The estimated overall value is £375,000 excluding VAT and £450,000 including VAT. The contract is scheduled to run from 4 January 2027 to 3 January 2030, with a possible extension from 4 January 2030 to 3 January 2032. Award is expected by 25 November 2026. Evaluation is weighted 60% quality and 40% price. The published lot value is recorded as AED 375,000, while the overall tender value is recorded in GBP.

This opportunity suits established removal and waste-service suppliers with the vehicles, equipment, trained crews and operational capacity to clear university premises and manage varied waste streams. Relevant experience would include commercial or institutional removals, scheduled collections, loading and transport, sorting, recycling and disposal of wood, leather, textile, rubber and plastic waste. Suppliers with access to compliant waste-transfer, treatment or disposal facilities should be well placed to meet the requirement, particularly where they can evidence traceability from collection through final disposal. The breadth of services may favour businesses able to provide an integrated service rather than a single specialist operation. Contractors should also be prepared to demonstrate the quality of their service, since quality carries greater weight than price in the evaluation.
