What is being bought

Published requirement description

Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council (the "Council") is adopting a single-stage open procedure pursuant to Section 20 of the Procurement Act 2023 (the "PA 2023") in order to procure the tipping (disposal) of fly-tipped waste and construction & demolition waste with the inclusion of skip provision. The successful Contractor is to provide the Housing Maintenance Team (HMT), Streetscene and Highways with tipping facilities to support the day-to-day operations of the Authority. This provision is to ensure a reliable service to the community, by receiving waste delivered by Dudley MBC vehicles to the Contractor. The successful Contractor’s waste site must be within a 10 kilometre radius of DMBC Lister Road depot DY2 8JW, as listed on the Environment Agency’s Public Register, failure to meet this requirement will result in your submitted tender being removed from further evaluation.

The successful Contractor must also be able to supply a range of different sized skips, for different waste streams, at different sites across the Authority. This is to supplement the work undertaken by the Housing Maintenance Team (HMT), Waste care, Street scene / Greencare or Highways teams. There may also be ad hoc work required to support the day-to-day operations of the Authority. This provision is to ensure a reliable service to the community, by receiving waste delivered by Dudley MBC vehicles to the Contractor .

  • The authority expects to re-tender this requirement around 2 Sept 2030, 23:59 BST.

What it takes to win

How this buyer will score bids.

The evaluation criteria and weights exactly as published on the notice, grouped by family (price, quality, social value and so on).

How bids are scored
Quality: 55%Price: 45%
Published award criteria (2)
  • Price
  • Quality

No conditions of participation were published on the notice; check the tender documents.

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 45 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 4.5 points. Quality carries 55 of 100: the paper moves it further than the discount.
  • Turnover usually expected at this size: about £2,596,443 (twice the annual value).

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula. Turnover is an indicative market norm (≈2× annual value), not a published condition.

What to do with it
How often do SMEs win?
i

How often small and medium firms win.

Share of awards where the winner’s size is known.

Last 36 months.

Buyer: 4 of 11 known-size awards · market: CPV 9050 · West Midlands, n=54
36%48%

i

How often local firms win similar work.

Winners with a registered address in the delivery region, out of awards with a known address.

Local means the winner is registered in the region where that award was delivered. The market figure counts awards delivered in West Midlands.

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.
