UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Blaenau Gwent County Borough Council is seeking a supplier to design, manufacture, supply and deliver a fully automatic cardboard baling solution for Silent Valley Waste Transfer Station in Ebbw Vale. The requirement includes installation, commissioning, testing, user training and ongoing maintenance support. This is a supply contract for recycling equipment, with associated installation and support services. The equipment is intended to bale cardboard at the waste transfer station; suppliers should therefore be able to provide a complete, integrated solution rather than equipment supply alone. Delivery and installation are at the Silent Valley site in Ebbw Vale, Blaenau Gwent.

The council invited offers through an open competition. The tender was issued as one lot, with a contract period running from 16 November 2026 to 1 March 2027. The estimated value is £150,000 excluding VAT (£180,000 including VAT). The deadline for tender questions was 26 October 2026 at 17:00, and bids were due by 2 November 2026 at 12:00 noon. Technical quality and commercial price each carry equal weight, at 50% apiece. Participation requirements are set out in the tender documents. Electronic submission was allowed through the Etenderwales portal.

The opportunity is suited to suppliers able to deliver a complete automated cardboard-baling system, covering equipment design and manufacture as well as delivery, installation, commissioning and testing. Bidders should also be equipped to train the council’s users and provide maintenance support for the installed solution. This combination favours suppliers with experience integrating industrial recycling equipment into operational waste-transfer facilities, and the capacity to support the equipment after installation. Small and medium-sized enterprises are identified as suitable to compete. The evaluation gives technical quality the same weight as price, so suppliers need to demonstrate a credible technical solution as well as competitive commercial terms. The council is seeking a suitably qualified and experienced supplier.
