This contract is considered a critical component of the Yarm Road WTS transformation plan. The project is located in Stockton on Tees, UKC11 region, and falls under the services category, focusing specifically on environmental engineering and consulting services for waste. Significant dates include the signing on 14th August 2025, with the contract period running from 16th August 2025 to 30th April 2026, and a gross contract value of £36,000. The contract offers significant business opportunities, particularly for firms specialising in environmental engineering consultancy services and waste management solutions. Businesses with expertise in developing detailed specifications, pricing schedules, and method statements can find lucrative growth opportunities in such government projects. As SLR Consulting has demonstrated, companies with a proven track record in these services and the ability to provide tailored consultancy to public authorities have an advantageous position to secure similar tenders, especially those recommended by established entities like WRAP, which supports advancements in waste services for local authorities. This project is ideal for both large-scale consultancies and SMEs with the necessary expertise. ## Notice Direct Award The procurement for a Waste Transfer Station (WTS) operator is a critical part of the Yarm Road WTS transformation. The Council requires a centrally located WTS, where recycling materials can be offloaded, bulked and then hauled by the operator. The Council's waste service team does not have the in-house expertise or capacity to develop the detailed technical specification needed to procure an external operator for this service. The Council is engaging with SLR, a global consultancy, with proven experience in developing specifications, pricing schedules, payment mechanisms, and method statements for waste and environmental services. Their input will ensure the documentation is professionally prepared, tailored to the Council's operational needs, and capable of securing a high-quality operator. Whilst this service is not exclusive to SLR, they have been recommended to the Council by WRAP, who have technical expertise in working with LAs on changes to waste and recycling services, as they have carried out similar pieces of work for other local authorities. Production of the specification is now urgent in order to have conducted a compliant tender process and have an operator in place for the start of the service in April 26. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/048583-2025 | | Notice type | UK7 - Contract Details Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Direct | | Procurement method details | Below threshold - without competition | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Large, SME | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 14 Aug 2025 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 29 Jul 2025 | | Contract period | 15 Aug 2025 - 30 Apr 2026 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £30,000 | | Contracts value | £30,000 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Active, Terminated | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | STOCKTON ON TEES BOROUGH COUNCIL | | Additional buyers | Missing | | Locality | STOCKTON ON TEES | | Post town | Cleveland | | Postcode | TS17 6BJ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLC North East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLC3 Tees Valley | | ITL 3 | TLC31 Hartlepool and Stockton-on-Tees | | Local authority | Stockton-on-Tees | | Electoral ward | Mandale & Victoria | | Westminster constituency | Middlesbrough and Thornaby East | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 2 | | Supplier names | SLR CONSULTANCY; SLR CONSULTING | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 71313000 - Environmental engineering consultancy services - 71800000 - Consulting services for water-supply and waste consultancy ## Release History - 14 Aug 2025 at 07:18 - Award - UK7 - Contract Details Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/048583-2025 - 14 Aug 2025 at 07:07 - ContractTermination - UK11 - Contract Termination Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/048581-2025 - 12 Aug 2025 at 11:36 - Award - UK7 - Contract Details Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/047995-2025 - 30 Jul 2025 at 16:16 - Award - UK6 - Contract Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/044487-2025 - 30 Jul 2025 at 16:12 - Award - UK5 - Transparency Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/044484-2025 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/048583-2025 14th August 2025 - Contract details notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/048581-2025 14th August 2025 - Contract termination notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/047995-2025 12th August 2025 - Contract details notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/044487-2025 30th July 2025 - Contract award notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/044484-2025 30th July 2025 - Transparency notice on Find a Tender ## Notice URLs - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
