UK1 - Pipeline Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Wokingham Borough Council intends to procure commercial waste collection and recycling services across multiple locations in the borough. The scope includes council housing and a multi-storey car park. This is a service contract for suppliers able to collect and manage commercial waste and recycling across a varied property portfolio in Wokingham.

The procurement is at the planning stage: the council has stated its intention to buy these services, but has not yet invited tenders. It expects to publish a further notice on 4 January 2027. The planned contract is for three years, from 1 August 2027 to 31 July 2030, with an option to extend to 31 July 2032. The estimated value is £3 million excluding VAT (£3.6 million including VAT). One lot is planned, covering the collection and recycling service across the borough. The planned-procurement information does not set out the expected procedure, eligibility requirements or evaluation criteria.

This will suit commercial waste and recycling providers able to organise reliable collections across multiple sites, including housing and a multi-storey car park. Suppliers should be prepared to handle the practical demands of serving different types of locations across a borough and to deliver collection and recycling as part of one service. The planned single-lot structure points to a borough-wide service rather than separate geographic or site packages, so providers will need suitable operational reach and capacity to cover the full requirement. The buyer has not yet described particular technical standards, accreditations or experience thresholds; businesses in the sector can use the planning period to assess their capacity for a multi-site council service and prepare for a later tender.
