Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation procured clinical and hazardous waste collection and disposal services for RCaH. The requirement covers fortnightly waste collections, together with the provision of associated waste containers and consumables, for the research organisation’s operational needs. This is a services contract managed through UK Shared Business Services Ltd, the procuring entity acting for UK Research and Innovation. The procurement is classified as clinical-waste collection services (CPV 90524100). Delivery is stated as being in the United Kingdom. The requirement is focused on the regular handling, collection and disposal of clinical and hazardous waste rather than general facilities management or broader waste services.

This procurement has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. It was structured as one completed lot. Tradebe Healthcare National Limited was selected as the supplier, and the award is active. The contract was signed on 11 September 2026 and runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2027, a 12-month period. Its value is £16,000 excluding VAT, or £19,200 including VAT. The award covers the clinical-waste collection services associated with the lot, including the requirement described as fortnightly collections and related containers and consumables. The recorded award outcome is complete for the procurement, with the contract active for delivery during the stated period.

This award demonstrates demand from UK Research and Innovation for a specialist healthcare-waste supplier able to manage clinical and hazardous waste safely and consistently. A credible future competitor would need operational capability for scheduled, fortnightly collections, suitable waste containers and consumables, and compliant disposal arrangements for clinical waste. Reliable service delivery for a research environment will be important, including the capacity to maintain regular collections and handle the associated logistics over a 12-month service period. The selected supplier is recorded as an SME, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist rather than only by a very large national facilities-services provider. Relevant waste-sector experience and the ability to support a public research organisation would strengthen a competing proposition.
