The service must cover changing seasonal collection demands and be adaptable as the council adds land or sites. The council expects bidders to consider alternatives to landfill and to demonstrate environmental protection work, supporting its biodiversity and ecology priorities and its commitment to carbon neutrality. The detailed specification describes the sites, collection frequencies and waste types. The work is for the council’s sites in Leighton Buzzard, England. The council invited offers through an open procedure. The submission deadline set was 6 November 2026 at 17:00 UTC. The contract is planned to run from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2030. The estimated value is £180,000 to £270,000. The procurement is for a single waste service across five sites; the published description emphasises landfill alternatives, environmental performance, seasonal adaptability and the ability to expand with the council’s estate as considerations in the decision. Offers must be submitted in a sealed envelope to Leighton Linslade Town Council, Hockliffe Street, Leighton Buzzard, LU7 1HD. This requirement may suit small and medium-sized waste-management businesses as well as larger contractors able to service multiple sites. Strong candidates will be able to organise reliable collections across a varied portfolio and adjust routes, frequency or capacity as seasonal waste volumes change. The council is looking for practical alternatives to landfill, credible environmental protection measures and a demonstrable commitment to reducing the supplier’s carbon footprint. Experience supporting biodiversity and ecology objectives would be relevant. Suppliers should also be able to scale their service if the council adds sites or land during the contract. The scope is a recurring, multi-site municipal service rather than a one-off waste clearance. ## Notice This is an excellent opportunity to work with the award winning Leighton Linslade Town Council running our waste contract across 5 sites in our portfolio. The successful bid must align with our commitment to Carbon Neutrality by 2030 with all our suppliers being committed to reduce their carbon footprint. We are a Town Council who prides themselves on our Biodiversity and Ecology work and the new waste contractor must also be able to demonstrate their work around protecting the environment for future generations to enjoy. We expect consideration within the bid for alternatives to landfill and this will weigh heavily in our decision making process. The bid must understand the the changing seasons and be adaptable as our waste collection demands change accordingly.
