## Summary

Middlesbrough Council has completed a procurement process titled "GP229 - Food Waste Collection," which falls under the industry category of refuse and waste related services. The awarded contract involves direct procurement, opted without competition as it was below the threshold level, with Warrens Group Limited (Bio Capital) as the supplier. This contract extends over a period starting from 1st January 2026 to 30th April 2026. The service involves the collection of food waste in compliance with new legislation effective from 1st April 2025, mandating workplaces in England to segregate waste. The procurement process has reached its award and contract stage, with the contract being signed on 17th December 2025. The service will be provided in the UKC12 region in the United Kingdom.

This contract presents an opportunity for businesses specialising in waste management and environmental services to align with legislative compliance efforts and expand their operations in the public sector. Although Warrens Group Limited was directly engaged for this contract without competition, similar opportunities could arise for companies with expertise in waste separation and recycling services. Such firms, including large-scale operations with the capacity to handle municipal waste projects, could potentially benefit from strategic partnerships or future tenders necessitating diverse waste management solutions across different localities.

## Notice

As of 1st April 2025, workplaces in England must separate their waste before its collected. This includes any waste produced by employees, customers of visitors. The legislation details; You must collect food waste, even if the workplace does not serve food or have a kitchen. You must always separate dry recyclable materials (plastic, metal, glass, paper and card) food waste and non-recyclable waste (also called residual waste). We currently do not have this capacity to carry this service in-house. Therefore, we are going to engage with the awarded supplier as they currently carry out this functionality for School Catering.
