## Summary

Westmorland and Furness Council procured two related waste and recycling requirements. Lot 1 covers the supply of two-wheeled plastic bins for refuse, recycling and garden-waste collections. Lot 2 covers buying back the Council’s old plastic bins and containers so that they can be recycled. The work is categorised as refuse and waste-related services and is delivered in the North West of England. The Council is the buying organisation. The requirement is relevant to manufacturers and distributors of wheeled plastic bins, suppliers of refuse and recycling collection products, and businesses able to manage the recovery and recycling of end-of-life plastic containers. It combines product supply with a plastic take-back and recycling service.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 24 June 2026 to IPL Plastics (UK) Limited. The recorded award value is £4,600,000, excluding any different treatment that may apply in the detailed contract documents. The contract runs from 17 August 2026 to 16 August 2028. Bids had to be submitted by 20 March 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The Council used a selective further competition as a call-off from YPO Framework 1185 for refuse and recycling products. The requirement was divided into two lots: wheeled bins for refuse, recycling and garden waste, and buy-back of old plastic bins and containers for recycling. The procurement category was services, and it was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

This award demonstrates established Council demand for both large-scale wheeled-bin supply and the recovery of retired plastic containers. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need dependable manufacturing or distribution capacity for two-wheeled plastic bins used across refuse, recycling and garden-waste services, together with the operational ability to collect, buy back, sort and recycle end-of-life plastic containers. Experience in public-sector waste and recycling supply chains would help, particularly where product availability, consistent specifications and delivery across the North West are important. The opportunity is also relevant to smaller businesses, since the procurement was identified as suitable for SMEs. Suppliers able to combine durable collection products with demonstrable circular-economy and recycling capability would be well placed to compete when this Council next buys the requirement.
