## Summary

Colchester City Council is inviting tenders for the provision of Garden Waste Collection Service Permits, a procurement within the 'Advertising stickers and strips' industry category. The permits will allow residents to display stickers indicating their subscription to the waste collection service, starting from November 2025. This procurement is taking place in the East of England, specifically Colchester. The procurement method being used is an open procedure, and the tendering phase is active with submissions due by 10th September 2025. The initial contract will span from 1st October 2025 to 31st March 2027, with possible extensions covering the subsequent two financial years.

This tender opportunity is particularly favourable for small or medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), given its suitability criteria. Businesses specialising in the design, production, and logistical distribution of stickers and related items may find this contract enables significant growth through sustained partnerships with a public authority. With an estimated contract value between £50,000 and £100,000, it presents a substantial opportunity for firms looking to expand their footprint in the municipal supplies sector while engaging with a known establishment such as Colchester City Council.

## Notice

Colchester City Council wishes to purchase Garden Waste Collection Service Permits to attach to residential bins to give awareness that they have subscribed to the collection service. We require a number of non-personalised stickers to be sent to our Depot and a number of personalised stickers to be sent out via post, which will be available from November 2025. Full details of the requirements are detailed within the associated tender documents. Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement. The initial contract term is 1st October 2025 to 31st March 2027 (allowing for permits to be provided for the 2026/27 Financial Year). A further 2 extension periods covering the 2027/28 & 2028/29 Financial Years may be agreed with the successful contractor.
