UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Bath and North East Somerset Council procured reusable recycling bags with red lids for household waste services. The bags are intended to store and support the collection of mixed plastic and cans from homes across the council’s district, as part of weekly recycling collections. This is a specialist supply requirement for a local authority’s recycling operation, covering the physical bags and their supply for household use rather than general waste management. The related classification is CPV 90514000, refuse recycling services. Businesses relevant to this requirement include manufacturers, distributors and logistics providers able to supply reusable household recycling sacks at council-wide scale and support delivery across Bath and the surrounding Bath and North East Somerset area.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Bath and North East Somerset Council used a selective, below-threshold award under an existing framework, without a competitive call-off. There was one completed lot. SAI-PAC (UK) LIMITED was selected as supplier, and the contract was signed on 21 September 2026. The contract runs from 2 October 2026 to 8 September 2027. Its value is £180,000 excluding VAT and £216,000 including VAT. The contract is active. The award concerns the supply associated with the council’s red-lidded recycling-bag requirement and is linked to a wider framework procurement. The recorded procurement route indicates that future suppliers would need access to, or a route through, a suitable framework for comparable below-threshold awards.

This award demonstrates established council demand for reusable, red-lidded bags supporting weekly household collections of mixed plastic and cans. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to manufacture or source durable reusable bags, provide the specified red-lid design consistently, and manage reliable supply and distribution for a district-wide household service. Operational capability matters: suppliers should be able to plan production, maintain continuity of stock, meet council specifications and coordinate deliveries at scale. Experience supplying local authorities, recycling operators or other high-volume household collection services would strengthen a bid, particularly where the supplier can evidence dependable logistics and quality control. The route used here also makes framework access and compliant call-off delivery commercially relevant.
