## Summary

This procurement process involves the Southend-on-Sea Borough Council, which has successfully awarded a contract for comprehensive waste collection, household waste recycling centre (HWRC) management, material management, and street cleansing services within the Southend-on-Sea City Administrative Area. The contract falls under the sewage, refuse, cleaning, and environmental services industry category. The contract, valued at £310 million, was initiated through a selective procurement method utilising competitive dialogue, and its award was finalised on 13th May 2025, with the contract period running from 5th April 2025 to 4th April 2033. This initiative reflects the council's role as a unitary authority responsible for waste collection and disposal, and covers a wide range of services including kerbside waste collection, operation of waste transfer stations, and cleaning related activities, primarily within the East of England region.

Businesses specialising in waste management, recycling, and environmental services are well positioned to benefit from this opportunity, notably those equipped to handle substantial service contracts like the £360 million agreement awarded to SUEZ Recycling and Recovery UK Ltd. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to engage in such procurement opportunities, given the project’s support for diverse business participation. Organisations that can offer innovative solutions to improve waste management efficiency and sustainability are particularly suited to competing in this sector.
