UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University of the West of England procured hazardous laboratory waste collection services for its operations in Bristol. The requirement covers the collection, transport and disposal of hazardous waste arising from laboratory activity, corresponding to CPV 90524400. The work is a services contract rather than the supply of goods or construction works. The buyer is the University of the West of England, a public authority based at its Frenchay Campus in Bristol. The awarded requirement covers one complete lot and relates to activity delivered in the United Kingdom. This is a focused waste-management opportunity for operators able to handle hazardous laboratory waste safely from collection through to final disposal, rather than a general facilities-management or routine refuse-collection service.

The procurement has been completed and the contract awarded. The University of the West of England used a direct procedure described as below threshold and without competition. SRCL Limited was selected as supplier for the single lot, and the contract was signed on 8 September 2026. The contract runs from 9 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £24,000 excluding VAT, or £28,800 including VAT. The requirement was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender. The contract is active, while the tender itself is complete. The published requirement described the service as hazardous laboratory waste collection until July 2027, with collection, transport and disposal forming the relevant service scope.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for hazardous laboratory waste services at a UK university, with the work grouped as a single integrated lot. Competitors would need to provide an end-to-end service covering collection, compliant transport and disposal of hazardous waste generated by laboratory activity. Relevant suppliers are therefore specialist hazardous-waste operators rather than general waste collectors, with the operational systems, vehicles, facilities and regulatory controls needed to manage the full chain safely. Experience serving universities, laboratories or other organisations producing hazardous clinical or scientific waste would help demonstrate credibility, particularly where dependable collections and documented disposal are important. The buyer’s use of a direct, below-threshold route also shows that a supplier must be readily identifiable and able to meet a clearly defined requirement without a lengthy competitive process.
