Woking to retender its joint waste & recycling contract — a 7-year deal from 2027
Woking Borough Council is procuring a new joint waste and recycling contract to start in 2027 — a seven-year initial term with two seven-year extension options, including vehicle-fleet capital and optional textiles, battery and small-electricals collections.

Verified against the transcript — budget approved
This is a verified signal produced by QuorumInsight from a public council meeting. It is not an official procurement or tender notice, is not published or endorsed by the council, and no notice has necessarily been issued on Find a Tender or Contracts Finder. Value, route to market and timing are estimates inferred from what was said and may change. Always verify directly with the authority before acting.
So this is the joint contract which expires next June. It’s managed by our waste team, known as Joint Waste.

How a supplier could follow up
- Waste-collection operators should engage ahead of the formal notice — the 7+7+7 structure makes this a long-term strategic win.
- RCV and fleet suppliers: vehicle capital is explicitly in scope.
- Specialist textiles / WEEE / battery collectors should track the optional add-on lots.
