## Summary

The London Borough of Merton has recently completed the award stage of its procurement process for a concession contract titled "Textile Banks 2025". This contract falls under the environmental services category and involves setting up textile recycling collection banks throughout the borough to contribute to London's municipal waste recycling targets. Astra Recycling Ltd, an SME, has been awarded this contract, valued at £75,000, following an open procurement method. The contract period extends from 1st October 2025 to 30th September 2028. The initiative is part of Merton's Waste Reduction and Recycling Plan, aiming to make strides in sustainable waste management by 2025.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in environmental services and sustainable waste management solutions, particularly those focusing on recycling. SMEs can benefit from such contracts, gaining exposure and reputation in the public sector while contributing to sustainable urban living goals. Companies with a capability to install, maintain, and manage recycling infrastructures at a municipal level stand well-suited to compete in such tenders, aligning their operations with broader environmental targets set by local authorities. The emphasis on local authority waste management plans highlights an avenue for firms to align their business growth with public sector sustainability commitments.

## Notice

The London Borough of Merton requires a supplier to provide numerous textile recycling opportunities (in the form of collection banks) for residents across the borough on a concessions basis. The Major of London has set a target to recycle 65% of London's municipal waste by 2030, and a target to recycle 50% of Local Authority collected waste by 2025. Merton has developed a Waste Reduction and Recycling Plan (RRP) to work towards the recycling target set by the Major of London, which was set to improve waste management and make London a leader in sustainable living.
