Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 90. The category anchor is Refuse and waste related services (90500000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.

Procurement strategy & market signals

Framework agreementNot published
Dynamic purchasing systemNot published
Competitive procurementNot published
Recurring requirementNot published
Procurement method rationaleA below threshold tender exercise was undertaken for this requirement as, following some market engagement earlier in the year, the service area anticipated that the annual cost for this service would be lower. We can confirm that this was published to contracts finder so suppliers within this industry would have had visibility. Biogen were the only supplier that were able to meet our requirements, however their bid was above threshold rendering the tender invalid. The Council have approached the market to understand why other suppliers were unable to bid and we now understand that Biogen are the only supplier that can fulfil our particular needs for our area. There is a real pressure now on all councils to secure treatment capacity to meet the government deadlines to roll out these, now mandatory, food collection schemes ahead of the March 2026 deadline. To retender this as an above threshold tender would put the Council at risk of not securing this service and we do not believe we would receive any further bids in any case.
