## Summary

Leicestershire County Council procured specialist waste-management services for the collection and treatment of various gas cylinders and chemicals. The requirement covers items that have been fly-tipped or brought to household waste recycling sites by members of the public. This is a public-sector environmental and hazardous-waste-related service, involving the safe handling, collection, treatment and appropriate management of these materials. Delivery covers Leicestershire, within the United Kingdom. The contracting authority is Leicestershire County Council, a sub-central public authority. The procurement was arranged as a single service requirement rather than a multi-lot opportunity. Businesses suited to this work would typically operate in gas-cylinder, chemical, hazardous-waste or related refuse and waste-management services.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to RED INDUSTRIES (BROWNHILLS) LTD. It used a below-threshold procedure, with the specific method recorded as unknown. The award relates to one lot. The contract was signed and started on 7 July 2026 and runs until 27 September 2026. Its value is £50,000 excluding VAT and £60,000 including VAT. The selected supplier is recorded as an SME. The requirement arose after an initial £25,000 award was affected by a significant increase in fly-tipped cylinders requiring immediate collection and treatment; the short-term agreement was chosen as the best-value option available at short notice while a new contract was procured. The award remains active.

This procurement demonstrates a specific requirement from Leicestershire County Council for responsive collection and treatment of gas cylinders and chemicals arising from both fly-tipping and public household waste-site use. A credible future competitor would need practical capability to collect these materials safely from varied locations, manage potentially hazardous cylinders and chemicals, and arrange compliant treatment or onward waste processing. Experience in refuse and waste-related services would be directly relevant, particularly where operations can respond to sudden increases in discarded cylinders. The selected supplier was an SME, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a suitably capable specialist rather than only by a large national contractor. Relevant firms should be able to demonstrate safe operational controls, trained personnel, suitable transport and treatment arrangements.

## Notice

The collection and treatment for various gas cylinders and chemicals that are either fly-tipped or brought to the RHWS by members of the public. A contract was initially awarded for PS25k, however during this time, a significant number of cylinders were fly tipped and required immediate collection and treatment. The short term agreement with Red Industries offered us the best value for money option we had at short notice, while a new contract was being procured. The new contract is now in place, details to be published soon.
