UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

East Suffolk Council bought bin distribution services across the East Suffolk district. The work falls within refuse and waste-related services and concerns distributing bins to residents or other recipients across the district. The contract is a single service requirement, rather than a set of separately described lots. The council is the buyer, and delivery is within East Suffolk, Suffolk. The published description identifies bin distribution as the service but does not break down the types or quantities of bins, the distribution method, or any associated collection or waste-handling work. Suppliers whose business covers local-area distribution of bins or similar bulky items are the closest fit; firms focused solely on waste treatment or disposal would need relevant distribution capability to match this requirement.

The procurement is complete: East Suffolk Council selected JETT TRADE LIMITED and signed an active contract. The council used a direct award under its exemption process, without competition, for a below-threshold contract. The contract was signed on 13 September 2026 and runs from 14 September to 30 October 2026. Its stated value is £41,250 excluding VAT, or £49,500 including VAT. There is one lot, covering the bin distribution service across East Suffolk. The published procurement information gives no separate scoring or evaluation basis; the award followed the council's exemption process rather than a competitive evaluation. No reason for the exemption is stated.

This award demonstrates a requirement for a supplier able to distribute bins across East Suffolk, rather than a general waste-management service. A credible competitor when this requirement returns would need the operational capacity to plan and complete district-wide deliveries within a short, defined service period, with suitable vehicles, staff and delivery coordination. Local knowledge of East Suffolk and the ability to reach households across the district would be relevant to reliable execution. The selected supplier is identified as an SME, showing that this contract was delivered by a smaller business; the award does not establish that a particular accreditation, technical qualification or specialist waste-treatment capability was required. The route used was a direct award under the council’s exemption process, so the procurement outcome indicates buyer demand but does not show that suppliers competed or that a particular bidder capability was formally scored.
