Summary of the contracting process

Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council is procuring the design, manufacture and delivery of skips and roll-on roll-off waste containers to its CHEM Specification. The requirement is divided into five lots: 14 12-yard REL skips; three 15-yard builders’ roll-on roll-off containers; 12 35-yard open-top roll-on roll-off containers; eight 40-yard roll-on roll-off compactor containers; and eight 40-yard open-top roll-on roll-off containers. The equipment will support household recycling centres and the containment of cardboard, garden waste, timber, metals, household waste and heavy rubble-type waste. The goods are to be delivered in Northern Ireland. This is a goods procurement for the Council, with each lot covering a distinct container type and specification.

The procurement has reached tender: the Council invited offers through an open procedure. Bids were to be submitted electronically or by the stated online route by 12 October 2026 at 12:00. The intended award decision date was 19 October 2026 at 23:59. Each lot has a contract period from 26 October 2026 to 25 October 2027, with an option to purchase additional containers of the same specification until 30 September 2028. The total estimated value is £253,800 gross, with individual lot values of £33,600, £16,200, £79,200, £67,200 and £57,600 gross respectively. Evaluation is based on price at 80%, spare-parts turnaround at 10% and delivery lead time at 10% for every lot.

This opportunity suits manufacturers and specialist suppliers of skips, roll-on roll-off containers and related waste-handling equipment, including smaller businesses: all five lots are identified as suitable for SMEs. Suppliers need the capability to design and build equipment to the Council’s CHEM Specification, with robust construction matched to the intended waste streams and container type. Relevant production capacity covers both smaller skips and larger 35- and 40-yard containers, including compactor models. Suppliers should be able to support spare-parts requirements with a prompt turnaround and provide reliable delivery lead times, as these are explicit quality measures in the evaluation. Experience producing durable waste containers for recycling or waste-management operations would be directly relevant to the requirement.
