Waste Disposal & Tipping Framework_26

Leicestershire County Council · Local authority

In brief

Leicestershire County Council has announced plans to buy waste work. This is an early notice: there is nothing to bid on yet, but it tells you a tender may follow.

It is a framework worth up to £1,400,000 excluding VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.

The contract runs for 4 years, starting 1 December 2026.

The buyer says it is suitable for small and medium-sized businesses.

Can I win this?

Competition

Usually high: a median of 7 bids per contract for this buyer (from 15 awards in the last 12 months).

Framework

Winning puts you on a list of suppliers the buyer can call on; it does not guarantee work. The £1,400,000 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.

What the notice says

Leicestershire County Council (the Council) are considering options for the replacement of the Council's current 'Provision of Waste Disposal & Tipping Services' framework which expires on 4th December 2026, and are issuing this preliminary market engagement to gauge interest from the market and to investigate potential options for a future procurement. The future procurement would be for commercial waste resulting from highways maintenance activities, and is anticipated to include lots for bulk disposal from the Council's Leicestershire operational sites and depots, tipping at a framework supplier's waste receiving site, and waste disposal by skip. Please note that this is not a call for competition, and any information given in this preliminary market engagement is not guaranteed within any subsequent procurement, only indicative of our potential requirements. Any future procurement will be subject to a separate advertisement.

How to bid

  1. Read the full notice on Find a Tender, including any tender documents it links to.
  2. Register your organisation on the Central Digital Platform (through Find a Tender) if you have not already. Suppliers need to be registered to take part in procurements under the Procurement Act 2023.
  3. Follow the submission instructions in the notice; it does not name an e-tendering portal.
