Summary of the contracting process

Wrexham County Borough Council procured weighted kerbside recycling sacks and battery-recycling sacks for use in its waste collection services. This is a supply contract for polythene waste and refuse sacks and recycling equipment, delivered in Wrexham. The requirement was run as a mini-competition among suppliers on a framework for waste bags and recycling collection products. The procurement covered one lot and was awarded to a single supplier. Its practical focus is the supply of sacks for household kerbside recycling and battery collection, rather than the provision of wider waste-management or recycling services.

The procurement is complete and the award is active. Wrexham County Borough Council selected Sackmaker - J&HM Dickson Ltd, a Glasgow-based supplier, following a limited competition through the framework. Three bids were received, all from small and medium-sized enterprises. The award date was 13 October 2026. The contract period runs from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2027, with a gross awarded value of £238,080 including VAT and a net value of £198,400. The process was initially treated as below threshold, but the council’s description says that following competition it is above threshold and a variation notice will confirm this. The award covers one lot; no separate lot values or awards are stated.

For suppliers who did not win, this award demonstrates Wrexham County Borough Council’s recurring demand for weighted kerbside recycling sacks and battery-recycling sacks through a framework mini-competition. A credible competitor would need to supply both types of sack in sufficient quantities for a borough-wide collection service, with products suitable for kerbside recycling and battery collection. The competition attracted three bids, all from SMEs, showing that smaller suppliers can compete for this requirement. The selected supplier is a specialist sack manufacturer and supplier, indicating that relevant manufacturing or supply-chain capability in waste and recycling bags is central to competing. Experience fulfilling public-sector supply orders and reliably delivering products to Wrexham would support a strong position when this specific requirement next returns to market.
