Summary of the contracting process

Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council commissioned inspection, collection, repair and refurbishment, and delivery of its 1,100-litre recycling bins. The council has approximately 2,500 bins in varying condition. Council staff carry out the initial inspection and grade the bins; those needing repair are taken to a site for the work. Refurbished bins are then delivered. The requirement is for bin refurbishment and associated collection and delivery services, rather than the initial inspection. Delivery is required across England, covering the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to STORM ENVIRONMENTAL LIMITED. The council used a below-threshold limited competition. One lot covered the requirement. The contract was signed on 9 July 2026 and runs from 13 July 2026 to 12 July 2028, with two possible one-year extensions, subject to satisfactory performance, price and internal approvals; the final possible extension ends on 12 July 2030. The contract value is £55,500 excluding VAT (£66,000 including VAT). The award is for services. No award evaluation criteria are stated in the available procurement details.

This contract shows demand from Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council for a supplier able to handle the practical chain of collecting 1,100-litre recycling bins, repairing or refurbishing those graded as needing work, and delivering them back. A credible competitor when this requirement next comes to market would need suitable repair facilities and the operational capacity to move bulky bins to and from a repair site, as well as to manage the work reliably across a substantial stock. The council’s staff undertake the initial inspection and grading, so the supplier’s role centres on collection, repair or refurbishment and delivery rather than condition assessment. The awarded supplier is an environmental services SME, showing that a smaller specialist business was selected for this service requirement.
