Summary of the contracting process

Rotherham Borough Council intends to procure waste disposal arrangements for waste arising across the borough. The scope includes tipping and disposal of highways waste, grounds maintenance waste such as green waste, glass, plastics and animal waste, fly-tipping waste including tyres and white goods, and waste from furnished homes. It also covers hiring skips in different sizes and locations and disposing of their contents. Highways and gulley waste includes non-segregated street sweepings and material from gulley emptying, typically containing sand, silt, gravel, leaves, litter, cans, plastics and cigarette butts. The work is waste disposal and treatment, with associated waste container hire. Delivery is across Rotherham and the wider United Kingdom classification area.

This procurement is at the planning stage: the Council has stated its intention to procure, but has not issued an invitation to tender. It expects, subject to confirmation, to use an open tender to establish a multi-lot framework agreement. One planned lot is currently identified, with a proposed contract period from 1 January 2028 to 31 December 2032. The buyer expects the next notice to be published on 1 June 2027; this is an indicative publication date, not a response deadline. The estimated gross value is £6,000,000 including applicable taxes, in total for the procurement. There is no guaranteed tonnage in any year or across the agreement term, so suppliers should plan for variable demand.

The planned framework is likely to suit waste management and disposal operators able to handle varied municipal and operational waste streams across Rotherham. Relevant capability includes receiving, sorting or treating highway, grounds maintenance, fly-tipping, furnished-home, street-sweeping and gulley waste, including mixed materials such as green waste, glass, plastics, tyres, white goods, timber, sand and silt. Suppliers may also need to provide skips in several sizes and deploy them at locations around the borough, alongside lawful disposal or treatment of the contents. The Council has marked the planned lot as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Businesses with flexible capacity, suitable waste handling infrastructure and experience managing fluctuating volumes should monitor the procurement and prepare evidence of their operational capability before the market stage.
