The tender, categorized under services for clinical-waste collection and disposal, is currently in the tender stage with a submission deadline on 2 June 2026.

## Notice

These 11 ICB Commissioning organisations are separate Contracting Authorities, as listed below: Lot 1 = NHS Birmingham and Solihull ICB Lot 2 = NHS Black Country ICB Lot 3 = NHS Coventry and Warwickshire ICB Lot 4 = NHS Herefordshire and Worcestershire ICB Lot 5 = NHS Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent ICB Lot 6 = NHS Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin ICB Lot 7 = NHS Derby and Derbyshire ICB Lot 8 = NHS Nottingham and Nottinghamshire ICB Lot 9 = NHS Lincolnshire ICB Lot 10 = NHS Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland ICB Lot 11 = NHS Northamptonshire ICB Each of the individual 11 ICBs are looking for a Supplier to deliver a Clinical Waste Collection and Disposal Service within their geographical area that: 1. Understands the importance of this collection service for our Waste Producer who deliver key services to the local population 2. Ensures collections are as scheduled and communicated to the GPs and Community Pharmacies with replacement consumables provided as required to Tier 1 Defined Active Waste Producers, Tier 2 Defined Pending Waste Producers and Tier 3 Undefined Pending Waste Procedures. Definitions of the Waste Provider Tiers are located in Document 5 Specification, section 5 Waste Producer Tiers. 3.

Supports the Greener NHS and the carbon reduction target 6. Supports each ICB's cost reduction target of 50% set out by NHS England The Supplier will be required to demonstrate appropriate capability and infrastructure to enable the delivery of the service. For specific note, the Document 1 sets out the following: Please refer to Document 5 - Schedule 5 Service Specification, paragraph 5.5, which states that each Waste Producer is assigned a tier: Tier 1: Defined/Active Waste Producers Active Waste Producers are defined as Waste Producers which form the majority of the Service Requirements, and the core group of Waste Producers receiving Services. The Supplier will be required to provide Services to all Active Waste Producers from the Services Commencement Date. Tier 2: Defined/Pending Waste Producers "Pending Waste Producers" are defined as Waste Producers which can be defined/detailed but are not Active Waste Producers on the Services Commencement Date because they have other existing arrangements in place. It is intended that these Waste Producers will become Active Waste Producers following during the Term in accordance with Document 5 - Specification and or Document 6 - the Contract. The Service Requirements of Tier 2 Waste Producers will not form part of the Services until such time as the Authority notifies the Supplier that a Tier 2 Waste Producer is Active. Once a Tier 2 is designated by the Authority an Active Waste Producer, their Service Requirements shall form part of the Services. For the avoidance of doubt, no Change Control Process is required where a Tier 2 Waste Producer becomes Active and such change is solely at the discretion of the Authority. Tier 3: Undefined/Pending Waste Producer(s) These are other Waste Producers who have similar Service Requirements to Tier 1 and 2 Waste Producers who are unknown / undefined at the Services Commencement Date and may be added during the Term following completion of the Change Control Process (Schedule 13 of Document 6 - Contract).
