Summary of the contracting process

Conwy County Borough Council is procuring waste and recycling haulage services. The successful supplier or suppliers will transport waste and recyclable materials from the Council’s waste management facilities to designated disposal and recycling sites across Conwy County. This is a public-sector transport and refuse collection support service, rather than the operation of disposal or recycling facilities themselves. The requirement covers the reliable movement of materials using suitable vehicles, drivers and operational systems. It is classified as refuse transport services. The Council is the buying organisation and the work supports its waste management operations. Suppliers whose core business includes commercial waste haulage, municipal waste logistics, recycling transport or related fleet-based environmental services should find the scope relevant, including smaller and medium-sized enterprises with the necessary operational capability.

The procurement has reached tender: the Council invited offers through an open procedure. The enquiry deadline was 14 October 2026 at 12:00, and the tender submission deadline was 22 October 2026 at 12:00. Evaluation is based on price at 70% and quality at 30%, including previous relevant experience, legal and regulatory compliance, health and safety, environmental performance and carbon reduction, and business continuity arrangements. The contract is expected to run from 21 January 2027 to 20 January 2032, with an option to extend by two years to 20 January 2034. The estimated value is £14,000,000 excluding VAT and £16,800,000 including VAT. There is one lot, and award decisions are scheduled by 1 January 2027.

This opportunity suits haulage operators with experience of transporting waste or recyclable materials for local government, public-sector bodies or comparable organisations. Bidders need to demonstrate similar contract experience from the last ten years, together with the legal and financial capacity and technical ability required by the tender documents. Strong candidates will hold Waste Carrier Registration and Operator Licensing and be able to evidence compliance with environmental protection, waste duty of care, digital waste tracking, drivers’ hours and tachograph requirements. The service also calls for robust health and safety systems, risk assessments, driver training, incident management and monitoring. Suppliers should have route optimisation, fleet efficiency, maintenance and carbon-reduction capability, including low-emission or alternative-fuel vehicles where appropriate, plus contingency arrangements for breakdowns, staff shortages, disruptions and increased demand.
