This initiative, part of their responsibility as a Waste Disposal Authority, started in April 2026 with contracts running until March 31, 2028, with an option to extend to March 2030. The procurement process was conducted via an open procedure method, targeting the refuse and waste-related services industry. The procurement stage is complete, covering different lots across regions including UKG2 and UKF. Contracts were awarded to suppliers like Fernbrook Bio Limited, Biogen (UK) Limited, and Hemsewell Biogas Limited, with the most recent award on April 13, 2026. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the waste management and environmental services sectors to expand their operations by participating in public sector contracts. Businesses with capabilities in waste treatment technologies, especially those focusing on environmentally sustainable solutions are well-suited to benefit from such contracts. Given the scale and scope of the tender, both Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and larger corporations can find viable opportunities to collaborate with public authorities like Staffordshire County Council, promoting business growth through extended delivery scenarios and regional splits. ## Notice Staffordshire County Council require a Supplier(s) to provide the treatment, via anaerobic digestion, of separated domestic Food Waste, produced by the residents of Staffordshire, trade Food Waste collected by council operated services, and the marketing and/ or disposal of Outputs and Residues from the treatment process. The Supplier's Facility shall be able to accept domestic Food Waste from April 2026. Staffordshire County Council is the Customer for lots 1a/b/c through to 8a/b/c, as it is the Waste Disposal Authority (WDA) for the WCAs who form those lots. For lot 9a/b/c only, Stoke on Trent City Council, as a Unitary Authority, will be the Customer and the lot area. There are 3 delivery scenarios for each of the primary delivery points; A - Council Direct Delivery of the Food Waste to the proposed Treatment Facility, B - Council delivery of the food waste to a Supplier provided Waste Transfer Station (where the Supplier will take ownership of the food waste and ensure onward haulage to the proposed Treatment Facility), C - Council delivery of the food waste to a Council provided Waste Transfer Station, where the supplier will collect the waste from and haul to the proposed Treatment Facility). All scenarios are open for all lots. Scenarios should be separately bid for and therefore separately priced, per lot. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/033191-2026 | | Notice type | UK7 - Contract Details Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Large, SME | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 13 Apr 2026 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 12 Aug 2025 | | Contract period | 6 Apr 2026 - 31 Mar 2028 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £360,000 | | Contracts value | £360,000 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Active, Pending | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | STAFFORDSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL | | Locality | STAFFORD | | Post town | Stoke-on-Trent | | Postcode | ST16 2DH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLG West Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLG2 Shropshire and Staffordshire | | ITL 3 | TLG24 Staffordshire CC | | Local authority | Stafford | | Electoral ward | Forebridge | | Westminster constituency | Stafford | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 5 | | Supplier names | BIFFA WASTE SERVICES; BIOGEN (UK; FERNBROOK BIO; HEMSWELL BIOGAS; SEVERN TRENT GREEN POWER GROUP | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 90 - Sewage, refuse, cleaning and environmental services ### Codes - 90500000 - Refuse and waste related services ## Release History - 13 Apr 2026 at 10:35 - Award - UK7 - Contract Details Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/033191-2026 - 11 Mar 2026 at 08:41 - Award - UK7 - Contract Details Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/021599-2026 - 3 Feb 2026 at 10:41 - Award - UK7 - Contract Details Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/009335-2026 - 28 Oct 2025 at 13:58 - Award - UK7 - Contract Details Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/068989-2025 - 24 Sep 2025 at 08:12 - Award - UK7 - Contract Details Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/059075-2025 - 5 Sep 2025 at 12:33 - Award - UK6 - Contract Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/054288-2025 - 13 Aug 2025 at 12:29 - Award - UK6 - Contract Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/048400-2025 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/033191-2026 13th April 2026 - Contract details notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/021599-2026 11th March 2026 - Contract details notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/009335-2026 3rd February 2026 - Contract details notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/068989-2025 28th October 2025 - Contract details notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/059075-2025 24th September 2025 - Contract details notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/054288-2025 5th September 2025 - Contract award notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/048400-2025 13th August 2025 - Contract award notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/A-5520 IA3588 Framework Agreement - HEMSWELL FINAL - Covers all contracts detailed in this notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/A-6734 - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/A-11338 IA3588 Framework Agreement - FINAL BIFFA Redacted - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/A-14395 IA3588 Framework Agreement - FINAL Fernbrook Bio Redacted ## Notice URLs - http://generateupcycle.com - http://www.biffa.co.uk - http://www.biotech4.co.uk - https://www.biogen.co.uk/ - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents - https://www.staffordshire.gov.uk - https://www.stgreenpower.co.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
