The requirement covers the provision of suitable containers at all participating sites, regular collection of waste wood, transportation, recycling and/or energy recovery. The service is classified as wood waste and refuse and waste-related services. The contractor must manage the material from collection through to its recycling or energy recovery route, in line with the minimum standards set out in the specification of requirements. Work will take place at the Council’s household recycling centres in the Lisburn and Castlereagh area. This is a service contract suited to waste operators, recycling businesses, waste logistics providers and firms with appropriate downstream recovery arrangements. The procurement has reached tender: the Council invited offers through an open procedure, with tenders submitted electronically via the eTendersNI system. The submission deadline was 2 October 2026 at 23:59, and the intended award decision date was 20 October 2026 at 23:59. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2029, with an option to extend by any period or periods up to a maximum further 48 months, potentially until 31 October 2031. The estimated value is £3,435,000 excluding VAT, or £4,122,000 including VAT. There is one contract package. Evaluation is based on cost at 95% and social value at 5%. This opportunity suits waste management and recycling operators able to provide containers across multiple council recycling-centre sites, organise regular collections and transport waste wood safely and reliably. Suppliers need practical arrangements for sorting, recycling and/or energy recovery, together with sufficient vehicles, containers, site coordination and operational capacity to maintain the required collection service. The specification sets the minimum service standards, so bidders should be able to demonstrate compliant processes, dependable logistics and suitable facilities or established recovery outlets. The procurement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises, making it relevant both to established waste contractors and capable specialist or mission-led operators. Social value contributes to the evaluation alongside cost. ## Notice The service required is for the collection, transportation, recycling and/or energy recovery of waste wood from Council Household Recycling Centres. The contractor will be required to provide suitable containers for all sites for the storage and collection of the contract waste in addition to a regular collections service. The contractor will be required to meet the standards of the Specification of Requirements as a minimum. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Renewal: The option to extend by any period or periods up to a maximum of a further 48 months ### Planning Information A PME was posted on etenders on 22/01/2026 and ended on 29/01/2026, below is the link to the PME, Only online responses were recorded for the same. https://etendersni.gov.uk/epps/cft/prepareViewCfTWS.do?resourceId=6333963 ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/079799-2026 | | Notice type | UK4 - Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning, Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 21 Aug 2026 | | Submission deadline | 2 Oct 2026 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Nov 2026 - 31 Oct 2029 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £3,435,000 | | Lots value | £3,435,000 | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | Lisburn & Castlereagh City Council | | Locality | LISBURN | | Postcode area | Northern Ireland | | Postcode | BT27 4RL | | Country | Northern Ireland | | ITL 1 | TLN Northern Ireland | | ITL 2 | TLN0 Northern Ireland | | ITL 3 | TLN0E Lisburn and Castlereagh | | Local authority | Lisburn and Castlereagh | | Electoral ward | Hillhall | | Westminster constituency | Lagan Valley | | Delivery location | TLN0E Lisburn and Castlereagh | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 03 - Agricultural, farming, fishing, forestry and related products - 90 - Sewage, refuse, cleaning and environmental services ### Codes - 03416000 - Wood waste - 90500000 - Refuse and waste related services ## Release History - 21 Aug 2026 at 10:50 - Tender - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/079799-2026 - 19 Aug 2026 at 14:02 - Planning - UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/079017-2026 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/079799-2026 21st August 2026 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/079017-2026 19th August 2026 - Preliminary market engagement notice on Find a Tender ## Notice URLs - https://etendersni.gov.uk/epps/cft/prepareViewCfTWS.do?resourceId=6333963 - https://etendersni.gov.uk/epps/cft/prepareViewCfTWS.do?resourceId=6686350 - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
