UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Cyngor Sir Ceredigion County Council is procuring a household waste site service for south-east Ceredigion. The requirement covers providing and operating the site, receiving household materials, sorting them, transporting materials, arranging reprocessing and disposing of residual materials. This is a waste management and recycling operation, including refuse-site operation (CPV 90530000), recycling services (CPV 90514000) and wider refuse-related services (CPV 90500000). The service will be delivered in south-east Ceredigion, Wales. The council is the buyer and is seeking a suitably qualified operator able to provide the complete service in compliance with current legislation. The opportunity is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

The procurement reached tender: the council invited offers through an open procedure. It is a single-lot competition. Enquiries had to be submitted by 5 October 2026 at 12:00, and tenders by 12 October 2026 at 12:00. Electronic submission is allowed through the eTenderWales portal, with submissions accepted in Welsh or English. The estimated value for the full term, including extensions, is £4 million to £4.23 million excluding VAT, or £4.8 million to £5.1 million including VAT; the council says this is guidance rather than a fixed budget. The initial contract period is 1 July 2027 to 30 June 2032, with extensions of up to 36 months and 24 months, potentially ending 30 June 2037. Award is expected by 15 January 2027. Evaluation is 60% commercial and 40% technical. Payment terms are 30 days.

This suits an established waste operator able to manage an end-to-end household waste site, with experience of receiving, sorting, transporting, reprocessing and disposing of waste. Bidders need to demonstrate relevant experience, technical capacity, specialist equipment, qualified personnel and sufficient capacity and throughput for the service. Environmental compliance and management, together with health and safety arrangements, are central requirements. The operator must have a WAMITAB-qualified competent person, a waste carrier licence or registered carrier certificate, and a scrap metal dealer licence. Businesses should also be able to respond to changes in waste legislation and regulation and manage volatility in waste-material markets during delivery. The stated SME and VCSE suitability may support smaller or mission-led organisations with the required operational capability, licences and specialist resources.
