Published requirement description

The Council has a wide range of waste materials to manage across Warwickshire, as a result of increasing waste segregation, these materials vary in terms of tonnage and value. This segregation has resulted in the creation of several niche or low-volume materials, including automotive batteries, oil, chemicals, paint, gas cylinders, fire extinguishers, printer cartridges, plasterboard, various plastics, glass, non-ferrous metals, textiles, and waste upholstered domestic seating. The Council needs to have contracts in place for these waste materials brought to the HWRCs/Waste Transfer Stations by the public, commercial traders, the waste collection authorities, or suppliers acting on their behalf and charities.

The Council is proposing to manage these types of waste materials through this DPS. Managing these waste materials is key to supporting the safe and compliant handling of waste in Warwickshire.

The estimated value is expected to be circa £3,000,000 over the life of the DPS however, should unexpected circumstances / demand arise, this value could increase to circa £5,000,000.

These figures are estimates provided in good faith.

  • “WCC - DPS for the provision of Waste Material Services” is a dynamic market: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract.

How the contest usually goes

Winner shares use published awards; bid and price charts use contested lots.

Question for the bid
This buyerWarwickshire County Council · all categories
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.

The counts under this question show how many awards have a known supplier size.

Last 36 months.

Buyer: 9 of 11 known-size awards · market: CPV 9050 · West Midlands, n=28
82%21%

Small firms have won here. Neither number says whether you qualify; it describes who has been winning.

How often do local suppliers win?
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 West Midlands.

A local branch does not count if the registered address is elsewhere.

Last 36 months.

Buyer: 5 of 11 known-location awards · market: CPV 9050 · West Midlands, n=51
45%8%

Most of this buyer’s recorded winners are registered outside West Midlands.

How long to a decision?
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.

Last 36 months.

Buyer: 30 decided notices · market: CPV 9050 · UK-wide, n=21
55 days53 days

Half of these awards were announced within 55 days of the bid deadline.

How often single-bid or direct?
i

How often work is awarded with no recorded rival.

Direct awards and tenders where every published lot count shows one bid.

Thin markets produce this too; it is not proof of a tailored specification.

Last 36 months.

Buyer: 5 procurements with awards; rival share unknown · market: CPV 9050 · West Midlands, n=8
—25%

Awards are recorded, but published direct routes and bid counts do not establish this buyer’s share.

How many bids did past lots attract?

i

How many bids past lots received.

Each colour is a bid-count range. Only competed lots with a published count are included.

Past bids do not predict this tender.

How did awards compare with estimates?

i

Where winning prices landed against estimates.

Each colour shows awards below, close to or above the published estimate, one lot at a time.

On a framework or DPS, prices are agreed when work is called off.

Past prices are a guide, not a bid price.

Last 36 months.

Not comparable on a framework or DPS. The notice sets up a supplier panel and a ceiling value; what the work actually costs is agreed later, on each call-off or mini-competition, and those publish as contract notices of their own. The award-vs-estimate record of this market therefore sits on the call-offs; this page shows it on the contracts, not on the panel that frames them.

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.
