UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames intends to procure an interim service to manage and divert residual waste after the Villiers Road Waste Transfer Station closes for redevelopment. The service is intended to maintain continuity of waste management while the site is unavailable. The work covers transporting refuse and disposing of household waste. Delivery is for Kingston upon Thames, in the London Borough of Kingston. This is a single service requirement, rather than a set of separate work packages. Suppliers in residual waste logistics and household waste treatment or disposal should assess whether they can provide an interim arrangement suited to the borough’s needs.

This procurement is at the planning stage: Kingston has stated its intention to buy the service, but has not yet invited tenders. The buyer expects to issue a further notice on 16 October 2026. It has planned preliminary market engagement, inviting suppliers to comment on proposed tender documents through the London Tenders Portal by 8 October 2026; these are consultation dates, not bid deadlines. The estimated contract value is £3,937,961 excluding VAT (£4,725,553 including VAT). The planned service period runs from 1 July 2027 to 30 March 2028, with a possible extension to 30 June 2028. There is one lot, and the buyer has indicated that the requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized businesses.

This requirement is likely to suit waste contractors able to arrange reliable transport and disposal of residual household waste for a local authority during an interim period. Suppliers with experience maintaining continuity of municipal waste services while infrastructure is unavailable may be well placed to respond. The scale calls for a service capable of handling borough-level residual waste needs, rather than a one-off collection or disposal job. Kingston is seeking supplier feedback on draft tender documents before the formal competition, giving providers an opportunity to help shape the proposed requirements through the planned engagement. The procurement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses, so suppliers of that size should consider whether their operational capacity, waste treatment or disposal routes, and logistics can meet the eventual service specification. No particular accreditation is stated in the planning information.
