## Summary

The University of Suffolk commissioned waste management services for its operations in the United Kingdom. The requirement covers refuse and waste-related services, including reliable collection arrangements, under CPV 90500000. The buyer is the University of Suffolk Ltd, a public authority based in Ipswich. The appointed supplier is responsible for delivering the service to support the university’s waste management needs. This is a service requirement rather than a supply of equipment or construction work, and is relevant to waste collection, refuse management and related environmental services businesses able to operate for a higher-education organisation. The procurement was arranged as a single requirement, covering the university’s waste management service as a whole.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Bolton Brothers Ltd was selected through a below-threshold limited competition. The contract was signed on 5 August 2026 and runs from 18 September 2026 to 17 September 2029, with an optional one-year extension taking the maximum end date to 17 September 2030. Its value is £70,492.80 excluding VAT, or £84,591.36 including VAT. The award covers the single waste management requirement. The contract includes a collection reliability measure assessed over a one-month period. The published outcome records Bolton Brothers Ltd as the active supplier, and the contract itself is active.

This award demonstrates established demand from the University of Suffolk for outsourced waste management and dependable collection performance. A credible future competitor would need to provide refuse and waste-related services for a university environment, with the operational capacity to manage recurring collections consistently across the service requirement. Collection reliability is an explicit performance focus, so suppliers should be able to plan routes, maintain service continuity, monitor missed or delayed collections and provide evidence of performance against agreed measures. Relevant experience in servicing institutional or multi-site customers would help demonstrate readiness, although the procurement information does not identify particular accreditations or specialist qualifications. The awarded supplier is an SME, indicating that businesses of that scale can be considered for this type of requirement.
