Tender: Haulage of Waste for Braintree District Council – Transport of Recycling, Garden, POPs and General Waste

About

Braintree District Council is seeking a reliable and efficient contractor to transport and ensure timely, correct delivery of multiple waste streams to predesignated reprocessing facilities. The contract covers dry mixed recycling, paper and card, garden waste, Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs), and general waste (including litter picking, fly tip litter, dog waste, wood for recycling and general waste skip and wood waste); the sale of materials is out of scope. Facilities may change during the contract and the opportunity is issued in three Lots with either Lots 1 & 2 or Lot 3 to be awarded. From 1 June 2026 the Simpler Recycling reforms will change the composition of the dry mixed recycling stream to include glass, tetrapak, paper and card, affecting tonnages and number of loads. The estimated total value including VAT is £2,100,000 (not £4,200,000) due to the intention to award either Lots 1 & 2 or Lot 3.
