## Summary

The NHS and its Integrated Care Boards (ICBs) across the West and East Midlands are in the planning stage of a procurement process for clinical waste collection and disposal services. The procurement seeks to establish contracts for the retrieval and disposal of clinical waste from both General Practice and Community Pharmacy sites across eleven geographical areas in the Midlands. The procurement, legally based on the Procurement Act 2023, will be conducted through a competitive flexible procedure led by NHS Arden and Greater East Midlands Commissioning Support Unit. Key dates include an expression of interest deadline set for 31 October 2025, and an expected contract commencement on 1 April 2026. The total estimated value of the contracts is £38,063,459 over a potential ten-year term, which includes possible extensions. The procurement method utilised will be a selective procedure featuring a two-stage process comprising a Procurement Specific Questionnaire stage followed by an invitation to tender stage.

This tender presents considerable opportunities for businesses involved in waste management and environmental services within the specified industry category. The procurement is well-suited for businesses with expertise in clinical waste collection and disposal, as well as those capable of demonstrating strong technical and quality credentials. Firms that are experienced in managing large scale, long-term contracts with public authorities and can provide technical solutions and social value aspects in their service offerings could see significant business growth. Furthermore, with the NHS's ICBs planning to cluster into fewer regional units, firms capable of scaling their operations across broader geographic scopes could potentially secure multiple lots, maximising their contract exposure and revenue prospects.

There is an estimated launch date of October 2025, an estimated award date of February 2026 and an estimated go live date of 01 April 2026 (Note: the go-live date may change depending on the required mobilisation period for each lot but is not expected to exceed three (3) months). The proposed contract length shall be an 'initial term' of five (5) years, with the option to extend for a period (or periods) of up to a further five (5) years (maximum 10 years). Please note that estimated values, contract length (including changes to the initial term and/or extension term options), and timeline dates are all indicative at this stage and may be subject to change as the eleven (11) Contracting Authorities are planning on undertaking a second market assessment exercise with the provider market which may/or may not result in feedback that we would wish to incorporate and/or change our tendering approach slightly to accommodate
