## Summary

Staffordshire County Council has completed a procurement process for the supply of open top hook lift roll-on/roll-off (ro-ro) containers, designed for use in the county's Household Waste Recycling Centres (HWRCs). This tender, identified as IA3598, falls under the industry category of steel goods with a focus on waste and rubbish containers. The procurement followed an open procedure and was conducted under the legal framework of the CELEX directive 32014L0024. Ridgeway Manufacturing Ltd, an SME based in the West Midlands, was awarded the contract valued at £280,000. The containers are to be delivered to Staffordshire, with the contract having the option to extend until 31 March 2027.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in the manufacture of robust waste management containers, particularly those specialising in large steel containers. Businesses with a focus on quality and competitive pricing were well-positioned to compete, as the award criteria heavily favoured quality (80%) alongside price (20%). Given the requirement for durable containers and the potential for contract extension, this tender offers an avenue for sustained business growth for suppliers capable of meeting similar future demands within budget constraints. The process underscores the importance of aligning supply capabilities with public sector procurement requirements for long-term success.

## Notice

The Council is seeking tenders for the purchase of new open top hook lift ro-ro containers of 40 (forty) cubic yards. Within the HWRC network there are circa one hundred and eighty (180) containers in operation. In the first instance, repairs will be explored through a separate contract. Where repairs are not financially viable, containers will be replaced through this Contract. The containers will be used on hard standing in a waste disposal environment on the County's Household Waste Recycling Centres. The HWRCs require robust containers to be used for the storage and transport of waste. The containers are essential to the safe and efficient operation of the HWRCs. The Council is seeking to appoint a single Supplier. The number of containers to be procured per year is limited to budgetary constraints.
