Summary of the contracting process

Coventry City Council is procuring a clinical-waste collection and disposal service for waste arising from residential areas within Coventry. The requirement covers collection, transportation, treatment and disposal across the relevant clinical waste streams, including hazardous clinical waste, offensive waste, infectious waste and sharps, together with associated consumables where required. This is a waste-management services contract, aligned with CPV 90524100 for clinical-waste collection services. The appointed contractor will be responsible for managing these materials from collection through to final treatment and disposal, serving households across the city. The opportunity is relevant to specialist healthcare-waste, clinical-waste and regulated-waste operators able to provide an end-to-end service for a local authority.

The procurement has reached tender: Coventry City Council invited offers through an open procedure. Questions could be submitted until 2 October 2026 at 23:59, and bids were due by 20 October 2026 at 23:59. The award decision was scheduled for 30 October 2026 at 23:59. The contract is valued at £840,000 excluding VAT, or £1,008,000 including VAT. It is a single lot. The initial contract period runs from 1 December 2026 to 30 November 2030, with two possible 12-month extensions by mutual agreement, giving a latest expiry date of 30 November 2032. Offers are evaluated on cost, weighted at 60%, and quality, weighted at 40%.

This opportunity suits specialist clinical-waste and healthcare-waste contractors with the operational capacity to collect from residential locations across Coventry, transport regulated materials safely, and provide compliant treatment and disposal. Suppliers should be equipped to handle hazardous, offensive, infectious and sharps waste, and to supply associated consumables where required. The service calls for an established end-to-end waste-management operation rather than a single disposal activity, with suitable vehicles, containers, handling processes and treatment arrangements. Firms with experience delivering controlled clinical-waste services for public bodies, healthcare organisations or residential care settings are likely to be well placed. The procurement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to capable specialist operators as well as larger providers.
