## Summary

Cambridgeshire County Council procured the collection and safe, legally compliant disposal of clinical waste and sharps for Cambridgeshire residents who require the service. This is a clinical and healthcare waste management service, covering collection and disposal rather than clinical treatment of patients. The contract item also describes collection, transport and disposal of hospital waste, with delivery locations spanning areas across England. The stated purpose is to provide residents with a safe route for disposing of clinical waste and sharps. The buying organisation is Cambridgeshire County Council.

The procurement has been awarded to Vetspeed, and the contract is recorded as active. The contract was signed on 1 November 2022 and has a stated value of £330,000. Its contract period is recorded as 1,500 days. The procurement was divided into one lot, for collection and disposal of clinical waste and sharps for residents requiring the service. The original tender describes a 1,380-day period; a contract amendment allowed a further five-month extension. The award date, procurement procedure, submission deadline and evaluation basis are not provided in the available process details.

This award shows that Cambridgeshire County Council buys a resident-facing clinical waste service focused on reliable collection and safe disposal of clinical waste and sharps, in compliance with waste legislation. A credible competitor would need operational capability to collect and manage these waste streams safely, transport them appropriately and ensure compliant disposal. The contract’s broad delivery footprint indicates a need to serve residents across multiple areas, rather than a single site. Vetspeed, a small and medium-sized business, was selected, demonstrating that a specialist supplier of this scale can win this requirement. Suppliers with relevant waste-handling expertise, established collection and disposal arrangements, and the capacity to deliver a consistent service across the covered area are best placed to compete when this requirement returns to market.
