Summary of the contracting process

Wychavon District Council commissioned an advertising campaign to reduce contamination in recycling bins caused by food waste, textiles and nappies. The work is a public communications and campaign service, focused on changing how residents separate these materials from recycling. Delivery is in Wychavon, Worcestershire. The requirement centres on developing and producing a campaign addressing three specific contamination sources; no other recycling or waste services are described.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Barley Communications Limited. The contract was signed on 26 August 2026 and runs from 26 August 2026 to 31 August 2027. Its value is £49,200 excluding VAT (£59,040 including VAT). The procurement was a below-threshold process; the published procedure detail does not identify a specific method. There was one lot, covering the contamination-reduction campaign. The supplier was selected for advertising campaign services. The award is active and the contract is active.

For suppliers assessing comparable future work from Wychavon District Council, this award shows demand for a focused public-facing campaign that tackles contamination in household recycling, specifically food waste, textiles and nappies. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate advertising and communications capability, including the ability to shape and produce campaign material for a local authority audience and address practical behaviour around recycling. The selected supplier is a small or medium-sized business, showing that this requirement was delivered by an SME rather than necessarily requiring a large national provider. Relevant experience would include developing clear messages for distinct waste streams and producing a campaign suited to local delivery in Wychavon.
