Authority: Yorwaste Ltd (Public body)
What is being bought3 lots · detail below
Published requirement descriptionYorwaste Ltd is a waste management and recycling company operating in North Yorkshire. The company is wholly owned by North Yorkshire Council and City of York Council and operates at arm’s length from its shareholders.
Yorwaste employs over 280 members of the local community, manages over half a million tonnes of waste per year and carries out approximately 550,000 trade waste and commercial bin collections across North Yorkshire.
Yorwaste intends to procure bulk haulage services for the transportation of non-hazardous waste from its transfer stations located on the east coast of North Yorkshire to a network of designated delivery points.
The services are critical to the ongoing operation of Yorwaste’s waste management infrastructure.
The current contracts are due to expire on 31 March 2027. A procurement process is expected to be undertaken in advance of this date to ensure continuity of service.
The procurement is anticipated to be divided into geographically defined lots aligned with current operating areas:
Lot 1: Seamer Carr and Whitby
Lot 2: Kirby Misperton
Lot 3: Halton East
The primary disposal facility is expected to be Allerton Waste Recovery Park (“AWRP”), supported by a network of contingency disposal sites. The successful supplier or suppliers will be expected to service all required locations.
The contract is expected to be awarded for an initial period of three (3) years, with an option to extend for up to two (2) additional years (3+2).
Further details, including the full scope of services, technical requirements, performance standards, and procurement process, will be set out in the tender notice and associated procurement documents.
This notice is for information only and is not a call for competition. Yorwaste intends to publish a tender notice at a later date to formally commence the procurement process.
- The authority expects to re-tender this requirement around 1 Sept 2031, 23:59 BST.

Published sub-criteria (2)
- Quality: 30%

Published award criteria (2)
- Cost: Pricing is expected to be based on route-specific schedules, with suppliers required to submit rates for defined waste haulage movements. It is anticipated that price evaluation will be based on a modelled cost approach using historical operational data to enable a consistent comparison of supplier submissions. Further detail on pricing requirements and evaluation methodology will be provided in the tender documentation.
- Quality: Suppliers are expected to be required to respond to project-specific questions relating to the delivery of bulk haulage transport services. Evaluation is likely to consider the supplier’s proposed methodology, operational approach, and ability to deliver the required services. Further information on quality criteria and scoring methodology will be provided in the tender documentation.

How the contest usually goes
Winner shares use published awards; bid and price charts use contested lots.
i
How often small and medium firms win.
Share of awards where the winner’s size is known.
The counts under this question show how many awards have a known supplier size.
Small firms have won here. Neither number says whether you qualify; it describes who has been winning.
i
How often local firms win similar work.
Winners with a registered address in the delivery region, out of awards with a known address.
Here, local means registered in Yorkshire and the Humber.
A local branch does not count if the registered address is elsewhere.
Most of this buyer’s recorded winners are registered outside Yorkshire and the Humber.
i
How long buyers here take to decide after bids close.
Middle value in days from the deadline to the first award notice, on competitions that published both dates.
Only decided tenders count, so slow ones still waiting are not in.
Half of these awards were announced within 57 days of the bid deadline.
i
How often work is awarded with no recorded rival.
Direct awards and tenders where every published lot count shows one bid.
The market share is a minimum: some awards have no bid count.
Thin markets produce this too; it is not proof of a tailored specification.
Awards are recorded, but published direct routes and bid counts do not establish this buyer’s share.

About this data
- Source. Official UK public procurement notices (Find a Tender), reused under the Open Government Licence v3.0. New notices arrive through the day; the figures are rebuilt nightly.
- Two views, kept apart. The authority’s own track record and the wider market for the same kind of work sit side by side and are never mixed. Where the local picture is too thin, a figure widens to a broader market and says which one it used.
- Forecasts are labelled. The price forecast and its range, possible competitors and the earlier-work matches are our estimates from past awards: not published facts, not win chances and not price advice. Official notices do not say who is bidding.
- Every figure shows what it rests on. Not every notice publishes a bid count, a value or a delivery region, so each figure carries the number of records behind it, and one built on few records is marked as such. The on a figure explains it; the counting rules are in the methodology. Spotted something wrong? Tell us.
