The contract, valued at £70,548 exclusive of VAT (£84,665.6 inclusive), was awarded on 8th January 2026 to Countrystyle Recycling Limited, a large enterprise located in Sittingbourne, UK. The tender falls under the services category and involves managing waste disposal and recycling services across 11 operational sites of varying nature within the Maidstone borough. The contract period is set from 16th February 2026 to 16th February 2028, with potential extensions up to 2030. This award follows a tender process initiated to align with legislative changes, highlighting strategic priorities towards enhancing recycling rates and ensuring sustainable waste management solutions. This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses capable of providing environmentally friendly, adaptable, and comprehensive waste management services. With an emphasis on sustainability and operational flexibility, businesses in the waste management sector that can demonstrate competence in handling diverse waste streams and adapting to dynamic service delivery requirements would find a strong alignment with the council's needs. The service scope includes the ability to modify waste collection frequencies, vary container types, and manage additional or reduced sites, providing an adaptable framework for entrant businesses focused on scalable and compliant waste solutions. Such a project offers a platform for large entities, especially those with the ability to innovate around recycling performance and reinforce environment-centric services. ## Notice Maidstone Borough Council (MBC) is looking to appoint a suitably qualified and experienced company to provide a waste disposal and recycling service for 11 of its operational sites. These locations, in the borough of Maidstone, vary in nature and function, including office buildings, a residential and community venue, a market hall, listed buildings, a cemetery, and a crematorium. Each site presents unique operational requirements, and we are looking for a supplier who can offer flexible, compliant, and sustainable waste management solutions tailored to these varied environments. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Renewal: The contract will be for an initial 2 year term, with the option of two annual extensions thereafter (2 + 1 + 1). ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/011004-2026 | | Notice type | UK6 - Contract Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Below threshold - open competition | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 6 Feb 2026 | | Submission deadline | 12 Dec 2025 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 8 Jan 2026 | | Contract period | 16 Feb 2026 - 16 Feb 2028 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £140,000 | | Lots value | £140,000 | | Awards value | £70,548 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | MAIDSTONE BOROUGH COUNCIL | | Locality | MAIDSTONE | | Post town | Rochester | | Postcode | ME15 6JQ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ4 Kent | | ITL 3 | TLJ45 Mid Kent | | Local authority | Maidstone | | Electoral ward | High Street | | Westminster constituency | Maidstone and Malling | | Delivery location | TLJ45 Mid Kent | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | COUNTRYSTYLE RECYCLING | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 34 - Transport equipment and auxiliary products to transportation - 60 - Transport services (excl.
