Decision details

To seek approval to undertake the procurement for a contract to supply approximately 21,100 bins per year for the North Yorkshire area and the option to purchase the 48,000 recycling bins for the next area to undergo the harmonisation of the Waste Service

To undertake an Open procurement, to procure our own framework agreement for four years for the supply of waste bins for the North Yorkshire area. This decision was approved by the Procurement Assurance Board on 27 November 2025.

It was decided to do an open procedure for this procurement, for compliance and transparency. As this would mean we are able to provide the winning bidder our own NYC call off contract to enable us to retain full control.

We considered using a framework, however after our legal department reviewed the frameworks terms and conditions it was not suitable for the Council’s requirements.
