This service involves recycling street litter with a contract duration of six months, potentially extendable to twelve months. Located in Cardiff, Wales (region UKL), the project falls under the services category, with an estimated value of £891,840. Information regarding this opportunity is currently available for consulting through preliminary market engagement, with key submissions due by 17th February 2026. The formal tender phase is anticipated from 9th March 2026, with a projected start date of 20th April 2026. This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, especially for companies experienced in litter collection and waste recycling services. Firms capable of managing variable tonnages and maximising recycling targets will find this project well-suited to their capabilities. Businesses providing competitive pricing structures and innovative waste disposal solutions will find themselves favourable contenders in this engagement. While the process is currently exploratory, it promises potential future formal procurement opportunities, making it an ideal entry point for companies looking to establish or expand their presence in public sector recycling contracts. ## Notice Cardiff Council is looking to secure a 6 month recycling contract (with an optional 6-month extension) for the Transportation and Processing of Street Litter. The estimated monthly tonnage available is approximately 400t, however this tonnage is not guaranteed and is subject to seasonal fluctuations. The Contractor will be responsible for the processing and disposal of all waste and must provide the Authority with a guaranteed minimum recycling rate of 70%. This process is intended to inform the Council's understanding of the market and is not part of a formal procurement process. Should the Council decide to proceed, a formal procurement process may follow at a later date. Any responses received will not prejudice any involvement in a future procurement process and will not include or preclude any organisation from participating in any future procurement process. All information provided as part of this exercise will be provided to all parties involved in any future procurement exercise. Local Authorities are subject to the Freedom of Information Act 2000, and cannot guarantee that information received will remain confidential. * Can you please provide the Council relevant experience of providing collection and treatment services for similar material and tonnages to this contract. * Can you supply the Council with details on how recycling targets can be maximised. * Please provide the Council with an example of the structure of your charges for such a service.
