## Summary

The Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council is in the planning stage for a public procurement process intending to secure Waste Disposal & Recycling Contracts starting in September 2027. This involves handling approximately 78,000 tonnes of black bag waste and 12,100 tonnes of bulky waste, as well as the processing of 35,000 tonnes of comingled recyclable material. Interested parties should note that all preliminary market engagement documents must be submitted by 27 February 2026, either through the Supplying the South West e-portal using project reference DN802459 or via email. The council is a sub-central government authority located in Bournemouth, within the UKK24 region, and is aligning this tender with its sustainability principles, although it acknowledges geographical constraints.

This procurement provides significant opportunities for businesses in the waste management and recycling sectors, especially small and medium enterprises, to grow by participating in services related to refuse and waste. Potential suppliers can leverage the council's intent to manage waste locally, meeting their proximity principle aspirations, thus favouring businesses within the region. This tender is particularly suited for companies that can demonstrate sustainable practices and offer comprehensive waste handling and recycling services, positioned to meet the council’s volume demands and contribute to its environmental goals. The process will follow the UKPGA legal basis, providing a structured and fair opportunity for businesses to secure roles in these long-term contracts.

## Notice

The council intends to tender contracts for the disposal of all residual waste, which may include haulage. This covers approximately 78,000 tonnes of black bag waste and 12,100 tonnes of bulky waste, with the contracts scheduled to begin in September 2027. In addition, the council plans to tender the processing of its comingled recycling, which may also include haulage. This involves around 35,000 tonnes of fully comingled material and is expected to start at the same time. Due to the nature of the legacy councils (BCP Council was formed in April 2019), there are a number of waste contracts, some combined across legacy areas. As a result, the same type of waste may currently be managed differently depending on where it originated from e.g. directly delivered or bulked at a transfer station. Prospective suppliers should be aware of our sustainability targets, and our ambition to deal with our waste as locally as possible to fulfil our proximity principle aspirations (although we understand our location in the south may offer some limitations).
