## Summary

Crawley Borough Council has finalised a contract for waste collection services within Crawley Borough, West Sussex. The contract encompasses the collection of household refuse and recycling, the provision of a chargeable green waste service, and bulky item collections upon request. This procurement falls under the refuse and waste-related services industry category. The contract was awarded on 30th January 2025 and is set to commence on 1st April 2026, with the initial period lasting until 31st March 2029. There is an option to extend for an additional two years, potentially taking the contract up to 31st March 2031. The procurement method used was a limited negotiation without the publication of a contract notice due to extreme urgency and the need for service continuity. The current contractor, Biffa Municipal Limited, has been awarded this extension in order to collaborate on the introduction of a statutory separate food waste collection service.

This contract offers significant opportunities for businesses involved in waste management, particularly in the provisioning of new and expanded services. Businesses specialising in the collection, transportation, and disposal of various waste types, as well as those providing logistical support such as vehicle procurement, driver training, and community engagement, would find this tender particularly well-suited to their capabilities. Suppliers have a chance to engage in a long-term partnership with Crawley Borough Council, ensuring stable and potentially expanding work by aligning with statutory requirements and municipal goals. Companies that are adept at handling large-scale waste collection and management could leverage this contract to grow their operations within the West Sussex region.

### Procurement Information

The Council intends to enter into a contract extension with Biffa Municipal for the collection of waste and recycling from residential properties. The proposed extension is for a period of three years with an option to extend for a further two years if mutually agreed by the Council and by Biffa Municipal. The extension will commence from April 1st 2026 until 31st March 2029 with the option to extend for the further two years to 31st March 2031. The rationale for the proposed extension is to enable the Council to work with Biffa as the incumbent contractor to plan for the introduction of separate food waste collection with effect from April 2026. It is a statutory requirement for the Council to introduce a separate food waste collection service from this date and it will be important for the Council to be able to work collaboratively with the incumbent contractor to arrange the various logistical arrangements including revising the collection rounds, recruiting, training and deploying additional drivers and loaders, procurement of vehicles and food caddies and communications with residents and other stakeholders.
