## Summary

City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council procured services for the collection and safe processing of various hazardous chemical waste. The requirement covers toxic waste disposal, excluding radioactive waste and contaminated soil, and falls within waste management services. Delivery was across Yorkshire and the Humber. The council was the buyer, with the work intended for public-sector operations in its area. The procurement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The selected supplier, Acumen Waste Services Ltd, is a waste services company based in Knottingley. Businesses with facilities for hazardous chemical waste collection, compliant transport, treatment and safe disposal would be relevant to this requirement, particularly those able to operate across Yorkshire and the Humber.

This procurement has been awarded following an open procedure. The tender closed on 8 May 2026, and the award was made on 11 May 2026. Acumen Waste Services Ltd was selected for an award valued at £6,000. The resulting contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2029. The tender had an estimated value of £60,000, while the published award value is £6,000. The requirement was evaluated through the open competition described for the service. The procurement is complete and the award is active. The contract period stated for the tender was 9 May 2026 to 10 May 2026, before the later award period was recorded.

For a supplier that did not win, this procurement demonstrates a recurring council requirement for specialist hazardous chemical waste services in Yorkshire and the Humber. A credible competitor would need the operational capacity to collect hazardous chemical waste safely, transport it in compliance with applicable requirements, and process or dispose of it through suitable licensed facilities. Experience handling toxic waste, robust health and safety controls, documented environmental procedures and reliable chain-of-custody records would help demonstrate capability. The opportunity was identified as suitable for SMEs, so a specialist regional operator could be well placed to compete, either independently or by partnering with compliant treatment and disposal facilities. Familiarity with open public-sector competitions would also be important.
