## Summary

The procurement process involves Ubico Ltd issuing a direct award to Grundon Waste Management Limited for the disposal of domestic mixed recyclable waste. The contract focuses on ensuring compatibility with existing service operations, with no viable alternative suppliers in the operational radius. This process is classified under the 'services' category, specifically 'Household-refuse disposal services', and is located in the region UKK1, United Kingdom. The procurement stage is complete, with the contract having been signed on 21st June 2026, and the service period running from 1st July 2026 to 30th June 2027, with potential renewals up to 2029. The procurement method was 'direct', justified under Schedule 5 (Single Supplier) of the Procurement Act 2024 due to technical reasons involving operational compatibility.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the waste management sector, particularly those with the capability to provide services that align closely with existing collection systems. Companies that have infrastructure and operational systems compatible with Ubico's current schedules and service areas stand to benefit immensely, as they could position themselves as competitive alternatives for future service provisions when current contracts approach renewal or termination. Firms that can demonstrate innovation in reducing service disruption and maintaining regulatory compliance will find potential growth prospects in collaborating with public undertakings like Ubico Ltd.

## Notice

Ubico requires the continued use of a waste disposal site that is operationally compatible with the collection service. Ubico's collection rounds, workforce planning, vehicle routing, and daily operational schedules are all designed around the disposal point operated by Grundon Waste Management. Continuation of services at this site is essential for maintaining statutory waste collection and environmental services.

### Procurement Information

Ubico is justified in issuing a direct award to Grundon Waste Management under Schedule 5 (Single Supplier) of the Procurement Act 2024 because: *Grundon is the only supplier whose disposal site is operationally and technically compatible with the existing Ubico collection service. *No reasonable alternative disposal sites exist within a viable operational radius. *Changing supplier would create unacceptable operational disruption, additional cost, and service risk, including potential failure to meet statutory waste collection obligations. *Any alternative would require significant route redesign and additional resources, making such alternatives unreasonable.
