Waste Management Services Dynamic Purchasing System
NHS London Procurement Partnership procured this Waste Services Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) to replace the previous Waste Services Framework (LPP/2017/011). The Waste Services DPS covers five categories/lots, 1. General Waste & Recycling, 2. Clinical, Hazardous and Radioactive Waste, 3. Confidential Waste, 4. Integrated Waste Management, 5. Waste Innovation Services.
This DPS provides all public sector organisations with a compliant route to market for awarding contracts for waste treatment, collection and disposal services. This agreement is for further competition, direct awards are not permitted under this agreement.
A DPS offers the most flexibility to meet potential future changes affecting the NHS and wider public sector as new suppliers can apply to join the DPS at any time during its validity period.
Contracts can either be awarded on a per category basis or can be awarded as a fully managed service through Category 4 Integrated Waste Management. To request a supplier list, please contact gstt.lppefps1@nhs.net

This will be determined by the needs of our membership and the development of the market.
As the list of qualified suppliers for each category may regularly change, please contact the framework manager Risha Mehta for an up to date supplier list at gstt.lppefps1@nhs.net. An updated supplier list must be requested 24 hours prior to releasing a further competition.
