## Summary

The procurement process described involves Manchester City Council as the buying organisation, focusing on the "Supply of Litter Bins in Manchester Parks". This tender, categorised under the waste management industry, falls within the UKD3 region, specifically Manchester. The process has reached the contract award stage as of 15th May 2025, with an active contract period starting from 13th May 2025 and ending on 30th April 2026. The procurement method used was a direct approach, classified as "Below threshold - without competition", with the awarded contract valued at £114,107.87 gross and made to EARTH ANCHORS LIMITED, the supplier identified in this process.

This contract presents business growth opportunities particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in manufacturing or supplying waste and rubbish containers and bins. With the contract awarded directly and without competition, businesses in this niche will find themselves in a prime position for similar future opportunities, especially those that can demonstrate efficiency, innovation, and the ability to meet the council's environmental and aesthetic criteria. Firms that have existing operations or looking to expand within the North West, especially around Greater Manchester, will benefit the most, ensuring that public spaces are maintained effectively and contributing to the city's overall cleanliness and environmental health goals.

## Notice

This contract is for the procurement of 231 replacement litter bins, as part of an investment programme for Clean, Green and Safe Manchester. The bins need to meet key criteria in terms of capacity, ease of operation and ensuring that parks furniture maintains a consistent look and feel in line with the current character of each site. Park usage continues to increase post pandemic and the amount of litter left in park bins is subsequently rising. In 2024, 161,004 rubbish bags were collected from bins in Parks, rising from 96,000 pre pandemic. The replacement litter bins with a larger capacity will ensure that emptying can be carried out through the most effective operation, thus ensuring that parks have less litter present and resources can be employed in undertaking other essential tasks
