This procurement, under the industry category of refuse and waste related services, operates under a competitive flexible procedure. The procurement is based in Aylesbury, United Kingdom (UKJ13), and is currently in the tender stage with a submission deadline on 13 August 2026. The services cover both integrated and disaggregated models across multiple lots, offering flexibility to both integrated providers and specialists. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses engaged in waste management, especially those focused on refuse and waste-related services. With the value of the contract reaching substantial figures for each lot, it provides a lucrative growth opportunity for both large integrated firms and specialist operators capable of delivering specific service elements. The procurement process allows consortium bids and subcontracting, encouraging collaboration among small and medium-sized enterprises to partake in the tender. Such participation not only aids in meeting environmental objectives and statutory requirements but could also expand business networks and capabilities in waste management sectors. ## Notice Buckinghamshire Council intends to procure a contract for the provision of waste management services, including the transfer, haulage, treatment and disposal of green, food, wood and bulky waste arising from kerbside collections, Household Recycling Centres (HRCs) and street scene services across the county.
