This tender, finalised in June 2026, was at the planning stage before moving through tendering and ultimately award. The process involves two key projects targeting different residential types, aiming to redirect food waste from residual waste to recycling streams through the distribution of key resources like food caddy liners and informational materials. The procurement utilised an open procedure, and the contract was awarded to D2D Distribution Limited, commencing from June 23, 2026, to April 1, 2027, with a contract value grossing £266,400. This procurement presents significant business growth opportunities, especially for SMEs involved in services related to post and courier, refuse, waste, and environmental services. Companies proficient in logistics and distribution, with additional capabilities in community engagement and educational outreach, could thrive in such tenders. It aligns with sustainability initiatives by promoting recycling and waste reduction, thereby appealing to businesses focused on environmental services. Participation in programmes like these not only enhances market presence in the public sector but also aligns businesses with governmental sustainability goals. ## Notice The Tender covers two projects in the Waste Reduction Behaviour Change Targeted Programme. Project One: Houses A large-scale intervention targeting a maximum of 391,000 and a minimum of 200,000 eligible households across nine (9) WCA areas.
