Waste Management and Technical Services
Framework Description
Procurement for Housing's Waste Management and Technical Services framework covers waste collection, disposal and technical services across all waste streams for social housing. It is a single lot divided into 17 regional sub-lots, giving UK-wide coverage, and includes compliance and carbon reporting. The framework runs until 30 June 2028 with no extension.
Context & Use Case
Housing associations, local authorities and ALMOs use it for routine collections from estates and offices, clearance of bulky items and construction waste from void and refurbishment work, hazardous waste removal and fly-tipping clearance. The regional sub-lots let a buyer use a supplier that operates in its own area, with compliance and carbon reporting provided alongside the service.
Scope of Services
Waste collection and disposal Construction and bulky waste Hazardous waste Fly-tipped waste Compliance and carbon reporting 17 regional sub-lots across the UK
Lots
Total Waste Management & Technical Services (divided into 17 regional sub-lots)
Who Can Apply
Suits licensed waste carriers and waste management companies, including regional operators who can serve one or more sub-lots and national firms covering several. Applications for this framework are closed until it is re-tendered, likely around the 30 June 2028 end date.
Buyer Benefits
Buyers get one route for every waste stream they handle, from bulky household items to hazardous materials, with suppliers matched to their region. Built-in compliance and carbon reporting helps landlords meet duty-of-care obligations and report on environmental targets without separate systems.
Next Steps
Appointed suppliers should approach landlords in their sub-lots with an offer for the waste streams they handle most, such as fly-tipping or void clearances. Others should plan for the re-tender ahead of June 2028: decide which regions to bid for, and prepare waste carrier licences, carbon reporting capability and housing references.
How Athena Can Help
Regional sub-lots mean choices about where to bid. Athena's bid/no-bid evaluation weighs each region against your depots and likely competitors before the re-tender. Our framework onboarding support then prepares the application, licences and policies, with a compliance check.
For current suppliers, Athena's bid writing and competitor analysis help win call-offs, including carbon reporting answers that show real added value to the landlord and pricing that holds up across each region you serve.
