Summary of the contracting process

Waste & Resources Action Programme (WRAP) commissioned technical environmental consultancy to support Brent Council’s waste and recycling services. The work assesses how the existing kerbside collection service performs and models the costs, resources and likely performance of replacing reusable sacks for collecting fibre with alternative containers. It also examines introducing two-stream recycling at flats and communal properties. The buyer is WRAP, and the work is for Brent Council’s service. Delivery is in the United Kingdom; the notice does not identify a more specific delivery location. This is a focused service-review and modelling assignment, rather than a contract to supply collection equipment or deliver routine waste collection. Its subject is the operational and financial implications of changing household recycling arrangements across kerbside and communal settings.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Circulogic. WRAP used a competitive, selective call-off under the FRA081 waste and recycling support framework, as a below-threshold procurement. The contract was signed on 20 October 2026 and runs from 28 October 2026 to 28 February 2027. Its gross value is £24,928.50. There was one lot, covering the technical advice and modelling assignment for Brent Council. The published process information describes the work to be done but does not set out specific scored evaluation criteria. The award is active, and the contract is also active.

For suppliers seeking comparable future work from WRAP, this award shows demand for compact, specialist consultancy that can evaluate local authority waste services and model the consequences of changing collection systems. Credible competitors would need to combine understanding of kerbside recycling and flats or communal collections with the ability to assess service performance, compare containment options, and analyse cost, resource needs and likely operational outcomes. Experience translating technical analysis into practical advice for a council would be relevant. The competitive framework call-off route also indicates that suppliers need to be positioned to participate through the applicable framework. Circulogic, identified as an SME, was selected, demonstrating that this assignment was delivered by a smaller supplier; the contract’s short, focused scope suggests capability in targeted analysis rather than large-scale collection operations.
