## Summary

The procurement process for Waste Collection Services, initiated by Tendring District Council in collaboration with Essex County Council, was previously in stages of planning and tendering but is now marked as complete due to cancellation. Initially, this tender aimed to secure services for waste collection and disposal at three leisure centres in Clacton-on-Sea, Dovercourt Bay, and Walton-on-the-Naze from 1st April 2026, spanning three years with potential extensions. Industry categorised under environmental services and waste management with a contract value estimated at £120,000, this procurement followed an open competition method, below threshold. The process saw its planning stage from January 2026, with market engagement before advancing into tender by February 2026, before its cancellation on 5th March 2026, due to exceeding budgetary constraints despite the legal basis under the Environmental Protection Act 1990.

This procurement presented significant growth avenues for SMEs and not-for-profits, suitable for businesses skilled in waste management and environmental services. It offered a comprehensive partnership opportunity, encompassing the administrative management, timely collection, and disposal of waste, adhering to statutory regulations. Businesses experienced in handling diverse waste types, including hazardous and non-hazardous materials, would have seen opportunities to leverage their expertise with the logistics and facilitation requirements across different leisure centres. The strategic involvement in ensuring seamless transition and provision of waste disposal solutions could bolster a firm's operational capabilities and expand its portfolio within the public sector service domain. Despite its cancellation, understanding the dynamics of such procurement processes remains valuable for future tenders in the same industry.
