Waste Management — Public Procurement

Waste management is a statutory duty of municipal services of general interest and one of the largest procurement markets in the environmental field. Districts, independent cities and waste management associations award contracts for the collection, transport, sorting, recovery and disposal of municipal waste. Procurement procedures are regularly EU-wide and run over multi-year contract terms.

Typical tenders in the waste management sector

  • Collection and transport of residual waste, biowaste and recyclables
  • Operation of a waste incineration plant or solid recovered fuel preparation plant
  • Bulky waste collection and disposal
  • Operation of recycling yards and recycling facilities
  • Supply of waste containers and collection vehicles
  • Waste advisory services and public information

Challenges in tender discovery

Waste management procurements are structurally complex — a single waste disposal contract can cover dozens of waste fractions and collection areas. Tenders are awarded in numerous lots, each covering different services and areas.

Contract terms are often 5 to 10 years, so re-procurements are rare and hard to predict. Anyone missing the procurement window may have to wait years for the next opportunity.
