## Summary

The Public Service Ombudsman has bought onsite confidential shredding services, using lockable containers and shredding carried out at the customer’s premises. The requirement is for secure destruction of documents rather than the supply of shredding equipment. The buyer is based in Manchester, and the stated delivery location is England. This is a service requirement, with the published classification referring to shredders (CPV 30191400). The scope is described as lockable containers with onsite shredding; no wider service elements are identified. The contract demonstrates demand from a public-sector ombudsman for a supplier able to provide secure document disposal at the point of use.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Shred Station Limited following an open procedure. The award was made on 24 September 2026. The awarded contract value is £22,785.60. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2030. The original tender deadline was 12 August 2026 at 12:00 UK time. The opportunity was described as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. No lot structure or evaluation criteria are recorded in the published procurement details, so the award basis beyond the open procedure is not stated.

For suppliers of secure document destruction, this award shows that the Public Service Ombudsman buys onsite shredding supported by lockable collection containers, rather than relying solely on offsite disposal or equipment supply. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to provide secure containers and carry out shredding at the customer’s premises, with the operational capacity to deliver a consistent service over a multi-year contract. The selected supplier is a small or medium-sized enterprise, and the requirement was marked as suitable for SMEs, indicating that smaller specialist providers can be competitive. Businesses focused on confidential paper destruction and onsite shredding are the closest fit; general waste contractors without secure document-handling capability are less directly aligned.
