In plain English

An NHS hospital trust needs a single waste management company to collect and dispose of their general waste, recycling, food waste, and glass across their facilities. This is a contract worth approximately £1.86 million to manage all their waste streams.

What the buyer wants

• Collect general (domestic) waste, dry mixed recycling, food waste, and glass waste from NHS sites • Transport waste to appropriate treatment and disposal facilities • Manage recycling and recovery of materials where possible • Provide a reliable, compliant waste service across all designated locations

Likely requirements

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

Most small waste businesses will struggle with this because it requires a single provider to handle all waste streams across multiple NHS locations simultaneously: you need significant fleet capacity, existing recycling partnerships, environmental permits, and the financial stability to service a £1.86m annual contract with NHS payment terms (usually 30-60 days).

How to bid

This is an open tender: any eligible business can respond directly to the buyer by the deadline, with no framework membership needed.
