In plain English

Leicestershire County Council is setting up a waste removal service for their highway maintenance work. They want to appoint up to five companies across six different lots, covering bulk waste collection, skip provision, and tipping facilities across North and South Leicestershire.

What the buyer wants

• Collect bulk highway maintenance waste (general debris) from assigned areas • Collect dewatered gully waste (cleaned-out drain material) from specified locations • Provide and collect large waste skips at job sites • Operate accessible tipping facilities where waste can be legally disposed of • Work in compliance with the Waste Duty of Care Code of Practice

Lots

Likely requirements

Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.

You will likely be excluded if you do not hold a valid waste carrier license, do not have suitable collection vehicles and staff, or cannot demonstrate environmental compliance and insurance. Most small sole traders cannot operate tipping facilities legally, which will prevent winning Lot 6 unless you already own or lease a licensed site.

How to bid

This is a framework: the buyer picks a set of suppliers now and awards work to them over several years. If you are not on it when it is awarded, you usually cannot win work from it until it is re-tendered, so this is the window to bid.
