Tender information last checkedLast checked 13 Oct 2026, 15:23.

Opportunity overview

Salisbury City Council (SCC) intends to establish a new Commercial Waste Collection, Disposal and Recycling Services contract covering the collection, transportation, processing, reuse/recycling and lawful disposal of commercial and municipal waste generated at Council-managed locations in Salisbury. It forms the principal operational standard and contract deliverable. The new contract will consolidate several existing short-term arrangements currently delivered by external providers into a single, integrated service. This will enable greater service consistency, operational efficiency, value for money, and compliance with all relevant environmental legislation. The contract will play a key role in maintaining Salisbury’s public spaces as clean, safe, and welcoming environments, supporting the Council’s long-term sustainability and environmental objectives. SCC is committed to maintaining high standards of cleanliness and environmental performance. The new contract will cover the management of green waste from parks and open spaces, spoil tip waste from cemeteries, litter and refuse from street bins (including sweeper waste), and waste from council buildings and operational sites. Waste Stream Data (2024–2025) The following figures represent the baseline tonnage data for the 2024–2025 reporting period and will be used to inform the new contract: Waste Stream Tonnes General Waste (DNH) 240.69 Dry Mixed Recycling 7.00 Glass 0.30 Mixed Recyclables 15.49 Mixed Commercial Waste 7.20 Municipal Waste 31.86 Biodegradable Waste 10.22 Wood 1.12 Total Waste Managed All Streams 313.88 (These figures form the baseline for ongoing reporting, performance comparison, and service improvement targets.)
