In plain English
Leeds City Council is setting up a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) to buy recycling and waste management services for household waste sites across the city. This is a large-scale, long-term arrangement where suppliers can join a pre-approved list and bid on individual contracts as they arise.
What the buyer wants
• Provide recycling and waste sorting services at household waste recycling centres • Manage collection, segregation, and processing of recyclable materials from domestic waste • Operate and maintain recycling infrastructure at designated council waste sites
Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
This is a £252 million contract, far too large for most small businesses to manage alone. You would almost certainly need to be a major waste management company, already operating multiple recycling facilities, with substantial financial reserves and a proven track record managing similar-scale contracts. Small traders should not apply unless they plan to partner with a large established operator.
How to bid
This is a Dynamic Purchasing System: an open list of approved suppliers. You can apply to join at any time while it runs, and once accepted you can bid for the individual contracts the buyer runs through it.
