Summary of the contracting process

Hartpury College is seeking total waste management services for Hartpury University and Hartpury College of Further Education. The work covers managing the institutions’ waste, with an emphasis on sustainable solutions, applying the waste hierarchy and promoting good practice. The buyer also wants to manage costs by generating income from waste materials, using segregated waste systems and pursuing innovation. Collection arrangements are expected to be flexible and straightforward to communicate, so they can adapt to changes in the waste industry and legislation. The service is for the college’s operations in the Hartpury area, near Gloucester.

The buyer invited offers through an open procedure. The enquiry deadline was 6 October 2026 at 12:00, and the submission deadline was 22 October 2026 at 12:00. The contract period was set to run from 1 January 2027 to 31 December 2029, with two possible 12-month extensions, up to 31 December 2031. The estimated value is £600,000 excluding VAT (£720,000 including VAT). This is a single-lot procurement. Evaluation is weighted 50% on quality, 40% on price and 10% on added value, with the detail set out in the ITT. Electronic submission is permitted, and bids are to be submitted in English.

The opportunity suits waste management providers able to deliver an integrated service across a university and further education college. Suppliers should be capable of organising segregated waste collection and applying sustainable practices that follow the waste hierarchy. Commercial ideas that can generate income from recoverable waste, control costs and introduce useful innovation are relevant to the buyer’s aims. The service also calls for adaptable collection arrangements and clear communication, with the ability to respond to changes in waste legislation and industry practice. The stated suitability includes small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so providers in those groups are expressly considered suitable. Quality carries more weight than price in the evaluation, making evidence of service quality and added value commercially important alongside competitive pricing.
