## Summary

Bath & North East Somerset Council purchased smart litter bins, classified as waste and rubbish containers and bins. The requirement is for goods rather than services or works, with delivery within the council’s area. The procurement concerns the supply of bins designed for public-space litter management, giving relevant businesses a clear focus on product manufacture, distribution or supply rather than installation, cleaning or wider waste-management operations. The named public buyer is Bath & North East Somerset Council, based in Bath. The selected supplier, Wybone Limited, is a Barnsley-based small or medium-sized enterprise specialising in the relevant product supply. This opportunity is therefore most relevant to manufacturers, distributors and specialist public-realm equipment suppliers able to provide smart litter bins for a local authority environment.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Wybone Limited through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. The award is active and the contract was signed on 7 August 2026. The contract runs from 10 August 2026 to 31 October 2026. Its value is £30,916 excluding VAT and £37,099 including VAT. The initial and total potential value are the same, with no extensions available. One lot was awarded, covering the smart litter-bin purchase. The award used a goods classification for waste and rubbish containers and bins. The published outcome identifies Wybone Limited as the selected supplier. This was a small-scale, short-duration council purchase carried out under the UK below-threshold regime rather than an open competitive tender.

For suppliers that did not win, this award is a direct indication that Bath & North East Somerset Council buys smart litter bins for its public-space operations. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need a reliable range of smart litter bins, the ability to fulfil a local-authority goods order, and sufficient stock, production or distribution capacity for delivery within a short contract period. Evidence of supplying waste and rubbish containers to public-sector or comparable public-realm customers would help demonstrate capability, although the procurement data does not identify technical, accreditation or experience requirements. The selected supplier is an SME, showing that this type of council purchase can be served by a specialist smaller business rather than only a large national contractor. The route used was direct and below threshold without competition.
