Summary of the contracting process

Hartpury College is seeking total waste management services for Hartpury University and Hartpury College of Further Education. The requirement covers waste collection and management across the organisation in the United Kingdom, with an emphasis on sustainable solutions, applying the waste hierarchy and promoting best practice. The service is intended to help manage waste costs through income from recyclable or other waste materials, segregated waste management systems and innovation. Collection arrangements should be flexible and straightforward to communicate, so they can respond to changes in the waste industry and legislation. This is a waste and refuse-related services contract, rather than a supply of equipment or construction works.

The procurement reached tender: Hartpury College invited offers through an open procedure. It is a single-lot services contract with an estimated value of £600,000 excluding VAT, or £720,000 including VAT. Enquiries were due by 29 September 2026 at 12:00, and tenders were due by 8 October 2026 at 17:00. The contract period is 1 January 2027 to 31 December 2029, with extensions of two further 12-month periods permitted, giving a maximum end date of 31 December 2031. The award decision was due by 1 January 2027. Evaluation is based on quality at 50%, price at 40% and added value at 10%.

This opportunity suits waste management operators able to deliver end-to-end collection and waste services while demonstrating practical sustainability and continual improvement. Strong candidates will be able to apply the waste hierarchy, operate effective segregated collection systems, identify opportunities to generate income from waste materials and manage costs without compromising service quality. The buyer is also looking for flexible arrangements that can be clearly communicated and adapted as waste legislation and industry practice change. The evaluation gives greater weight to quality than price, with added value also assessed, so suppliers should be able to explain their service approach, innovation and wider benefits. The opportunity is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises.
