Award of Ceredigion - Collection and Recycling of Street Sweepings
Authority: Ceredigion County Council (Local council)
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionCeredigion County Council is awarding to a suitably qualified and competent Contractor for the provision of a licensed facility(s) to transport, receive, dewater and process for reuse/recycling, quantities of Street Sweepings. The contract will run from 1 February 2026 to 31 January 2028 (2 years), with the option to extend for up to two additional one-year periods, subject to mutual agreement between the Council and the successful bidder (2 + 1 + 1).
The contract value stated in this notice is based on the indicative quantities included in the tender documentation for evaluation purposes only. These quantities were used solely to enable a consistent assessment of bids and to calculate an estimated total contract value over the full potential contract term, including any extension options.
The quantities do not represent guaranteed levels of spend or demand, and actual requirements under the contract will be subject to service needs.
- No preliminary market engagement: Pre-market engagement was not undertaken for this procurement as the scope and requirements for street sweepings collection and disposal are well-established, with stable and widely understood service standards. The Council did contact a number of suppliers to understand if the potential addition of Gully Arisings would have an impact on their operations. It was concluded, that the inclusion of Gully Arisings is not unusual in such contracts.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
