## Summary

Central Bedfordshire Council has undertaken a public procurement process for the treatment and disposal of food waste across four lots, covering both the north and south areas of the authority. This initiative is categorised under refuse and waste-related services. The process utilised an open procedure to encourage broad supplier participation and was initiated under legal basis UKPGA 2023/54. The contracts were signed on 5th May 2026, with the services commencing on 6th June 2026, scheduled to run until 31st March 2030, with a possibility of a three-year extension. The procurement stage is now complete, with Biogen UK Ltd awarded the contracts for all lots.
