What is being bought

West Northamptonshire Council has statutory duties relating to the collection and disposal of household waste and recycling and for keeping public land clear of litter and refuse. The current contractual arrangements are due to end in May 2028 and therefore the Council is currently reviewing its options for service provision from 2028 and is looking to have a very early engagement with the market which we hope will help inform the review and the recommendations that are made to the Council's Cabinet over the coming months.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 90. The category anchor is Refuse collection services (90511000); 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.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence
Market: CPV division 903,4455 median · 21.7 average (1,164 of 3,445 with a bid count)3.2 average (1,240 of 3,445 with named award suppliers)Not published

“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.
