UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Test Valley Borough Council is buying annual litter-picking services for the verges, laybys and slip roads of trunk roads managed by the Highways Agency within the Borough of Test Valley. The work is litter collection, with related activities potentially required on an occasional, ad-hoc basis. These may include additional litter picking, fly-tip removal and associated traffic management. The delivery area is Test Valley, Hampshire. The requirement is a single service contract covering the borough’s trunk-road network, rather than separate geographically defined lots.

The council invited offers through an open procedure. This process reached the tender stage. The enquiry deadline was 30 October 2026 at 12:00, and the bid submission deadline was 6 November 2026 at 12:00. The planned contract service period runs from 1 February 2027 to 31 March 2031, with three possible one-year extensions, up to 31 March 2034. The estimated value is £280,000 excluding VAT (£336,000 including VAT). Evaluation places 70% on cost and 30% on quality: service provision 9%, traffic management 9%, added value 4%, and health and safety 8%.

This requirement is suited to contractors experienced in roadside litter collection, particularly on trunk-road verges, laybys and slip roads. Suppliers should be able to organise safe work around traffic and demonstrate effective traffic-management and health-and-safety practices, as these account for substantial quality scoring alongside service provision. The scope also favours operators able to respond to occasional additional work, including fly-tip removal and related traffic management, while delivering a recurring service across a borough-wide road network. Added value is assessed, so bidders should explain relevant benefits their service can provide. Cost is the largest single evaluation factor, making competitive pricing important as well as credible operational delivery.
