This open competition procurement, titled "Waste and Recycling Service - HGV Recruitment Campaign," falls under the services category, specifically advertising services (CPV: 79341000). The project aims to support the Greater Cambridge Shared Waste Service in recruiting qualified HGV drivers and crew members. Located in Cambourne within the UKH12 region, the procurement process is currently in the tender stage, with submissions to be returned via email by 22nd June 2026. The contract, valued at £30,000 gross, is set to commence on 1st July 2026 and end on 31st October 2026.

This tender presents lucrative opportunities for businesses involved in recruitment advertising and services, especially those catering to transport and logistics sector needs. SMEs with the capability to run high-impact recruitment campaigns are strongly encouraged to participate, as the project's goal is to generate high-quality applications for 20 urgent HGV driver positions. Businesses that successfully position themselves as adept at executing targeted recruitment strategies will find this to be an excellent growth opportunity, particularly in establishing a foothold in the public service provision market within the Greater Cambridge region.

## Notice

Background Greater Cambridge Shared Waste Service (GCSWS) is a partnership between South Cambridgeshire District Council and Cambridge City Council, delivering waste collection services across the Greater Cambridge area. In 2026, GCSWS is rolling out weekly food waste collections to approximately 140,000 households, significantly expanding operations. As a result, additional staff are required to support increased service demand. Although recruitment is underway and some new rounds are operational, workforce turnover (including retirements) means that an additional 20 HGV drivers are urgently required to meet the demand of 70 drivers across all services. Campaign Objective To recruit qualified HGV drivers (and crew members) by delivering a targeted, high-impact campaign that: * Generates high-quality applications from licensed HGV drivers * Positions GCSWS as an employer of choice in the region * Builds awareness of the benefits of working for a public service provider
