This public procurement process, aimed at replacing an existing contract set to expire at the end of 2025, involves the open procurement method for below-threshold competition. It was conducted in the United Kingdom, specifically for the region of Tendring, Essex. The process progressed through the planning, tender, and award stages but ultimately was cancelled due to noncompliance in submitted bids, with plans to retender in 2026. Initial market engagement commenced on 11th August 2025, while the original tender notice was published on 3rd September 2025. The contract was intended to start on 5th January 2026 and conclude on 3rd January 2029. This procurement process represents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in refuse and waste-related services. Companies that are suitably qualified, licensed, and capable of handling hazardous clinical waste from residential dwellings could find new business avenues through this tender when it reopens. The procurement was notably open to Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) and included social value criteria as part of the evaluation. Businesses with robust technical expertise and competitive pricing could strongly position themselves to secure the contract when it is retendered, thereby expanding their market presence in the public sector of waste management services in the UK. ## Notice Tendring District Council is seeking to appoint a suitably qualified and licensed operator to provide a collection and disposal service to residents for clinical waste. The Council requires a kerbside collection from an average of 3845 customers per annum and an average number of 320 collections per month with varying collection frequencies, including weekly, monthly, ad-hoc and one-off collections from who all subscribe to the service within the district of Tendring. ### Planning Information Preliminary market engagement for clinical waste collection service for Tendring District Council.
