In plain English
NHS London is setting up a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) to buy waste management services for hospitals and public sector organisations across England and the UK. They need suppliers to collect, transport, treat, recycle and dispose of all types of healthcare waste, including clinical, hazardous, pharmaceutical and general waste.
What the buyer wants
• Provide waste collection, transport and disposal services across multiple regions in England and wider UK • Handle multiple waste streams including healthcare waste, clinical waste, hazardous waste, pharmaceutical waste, radioactive waste and general domestic/recyclable waste • Meet specific service requirements for different waste types through a tiered lot system (may include integrated waste management and bespoke treatment options)
Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
This is a £2 billion framework covering multiple regions and complex waste streams including hazardous and radioactive materials, clinical waste handling, and integration across the entire NHS London partnership. Unless you already operate at scale with multiple licenses, environmental permits, and proven NHS experience, you will not be competitive. This contract requires significant capital investment, specialist equipment, regional infrastructure, and regulatory compliance that most small independent waste operators do not possess.
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.
