What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionFramework Agreement for Skip Hire to support Tai Tarian in the delivery of its property maintenance and improvement programmes, across its property portfolio of over 9,000 properties, comprising of domestic housing, flats and sheltered housing complexes.
- No preliminary market engagement: No additional preliminary market engagement has been undertaken for this Procurement. Tai Tarian has an established understanding of the relevant market for Skip Hire Services, supported by its previous and ongoing contractual arrangements for similar services and by the availability of a mature and competitive supplier market. The requirements of this Framework are well understood, clearly specified, and based on established industry standards and regulatory requirements. Tai Tarian has therefore determined that undertaking further supplier‑specific preliminary market engagement was not necessary or proportionate for the purposes of designing this Procurement or preparing the tender documentation.
CPV: Non-hazardous refuse and waste treatment and disposal services · Refuse collection services · Refuse incineration services · Refuse recycling services · Refuse skips · Refuse transport services
How this framework works
From the published notice- Type
- Closed framework
- Call-offs
- call-offs may be awarded directly or by further competition
- Places
- up to 3 suppliers · 5 bids received (1.7 per place) · 3 appointed — full
- Framework period
- 4 yrs from 1 Oct 2026 — A four-year framework agreement is considered appropriate due to the ongoing and recurring nature of the service requirement. Establishing a longer-term arrangement will provide operational continuity, reduce the administrative burden and costs associated with repeated procurement exercises, and enable the supplier to plan and invest in the resources required to deliver the services effectively.
Published description of the framework
It is anticipated that a maximum of 3 Suppliers will be appointed to the Framework Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the 1st ranked Tender, the 2nd ranked Tender, the 3rd ranked Tender on the basis of the Award Criteria will be appointed to the Framework.

What this means for your bid
- Price carries 60 of 100 points — a 10% discount moves about 6 points. This one is won on the number — sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
- “Skip Hire Framework - Ref 01040” is a framework — the contest is a place on its panel, up to 3 suppliers, not a single contract — call-offs may be direct or by further competition.
