## Summary

Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council is procuring recycling, processing, recovery, treatment and collection services for waste from household recycling centres, bring sites, depots, markets and other Council facilities across the borough. The requirement is divided into 13 lots covering wood; rubble; soil and stones; mixed hard dense plastic; cardboard; paper; scrap metals; motor oil; lead-acid car batteries; oil filters; textiles; mixed glass; and paint. Depending on the lot, suppliers must provide containers, collect materials, process or treat them, divert them from landfill through recycling or reuse, and return recovered materials to market. The cardboard lot also covers material from Shambles Market, Armagh, while the paint lot covers nine recycling centres. The main category is waste-related services, including collection, recycling and treatment.

The Council has reached the tender stage and invited offers through an open procedure. Enquiries had to be submitted by 11 September 2026 at 12:00, and tenders by 18 September 2026 at 12:00; electronic submission is allowed in English. The intended award decision date is 9 October 2026. Each lot has a contract period from 17 October 2026 to 16 October 2028, with an option to extend by up to 24 months in agreed increments, to a maximum date of 16 October 2030. Estimated gross lot values are: wood £1,807,344; rubble £243,936; soil and stones £48,240; plastic £762,432; cardboard £76,032; paper £12,864; scrap metals £854,700; motor oil £107,712; batteries £55,440; oil filters £68,376; textiles £9,768; glass £107,556; and paint £24,000. All lots allocate 70% to price and 30% to quality, covering proposed services, contingency arrangements, and waste recording, reporting, communications and complaints.

This opportunity suits waste-management, recycling, recovery, treatment, collection and materials-processing businesses able to bid for one or more specialist waste streams. Suppliers should have suitable facilities, vehicles, containers and operational systems for the relevant materials and collection points. Capacity planning is important because waste tonnages and loads are estimates, can vary between months and contract years, and may increase; the Council requires suppliers to manage additional quantities. Relevant expertise includes handling mixed or contaminated materials such as treated and untreated wood, rubble containing construction materials and mixed hard plastics, as well as hazardous or regulated streams including motor oil, oil filters, lead-acid batteries, paint and textiles. Bidders should demonstrate robust contingency arrangements, accurate waste tracking and reporting, effective communications and complaint handling. Textile providers also need robust, locked, labelled collection banks and maintenance arrangements, while the scrap-metal provider must supply and collect two 40-cubic-yard open-top roll-on roll-off containers.
