## Summary

Middlesbrough Council has recently completed a procurement process for the purchase of refuse sack liners under the ESPO Framework. This procurement, identified by the tender ID ESC098/2026, falls under the category of goods, specifically polythene waste and refuse sacks and bags. The process was a direct award without prior publication, and Cromwell Polythene Ltd, located in Sherburn in Elmet, has been selected as the supplier. Although the initial status of one lot was cancelled, the award was active as of 20th February 2026, with a contract valued at £125,000. The delivery location specified falls within the region UKC12.

This procurement presents a unique opportunity for businesses involved in the manufacture and supply of plastic products, particularly small and medium enterprises specialising in polythene materials. The direct award method via the ESPO Framework highlights the importance and efficiency of established supplier relationships in public procurement. Businesses that offer competitive pricing, high-quality products, and flexible contracting options, such as those providing goods with extension periods, stand to benefit from similar opportunities. Furthermore, with the procurement focusing on general public services, aligned businesses could find growth potential in collaborations with regional authorities like Middlesbrough Council.
