Kerbside Waste and Recycling Collection Services
Wellington City Council (WCC) anticipates undertaking a procurement process for the delivery of kerbside waste and recycling collection services across Wellington City.
This procurement is expected to replace existing contracts due to expire from June 2028 onwards and represents a significant long-term service opportunity.
Council anticipates releasing a Registration of Interest (ROI) shortly to assess market capability and shortlist suitably qualified suppliers. This will be followed by a Request for Tender (RFT), anticipated in late August to early September 2026.
The future services will include:
• Kerbside refuse collection
• Kerbside commingled recycling collection
• Kerbside glass collection
This procurement is being undertaken within a constrained timeframe, particularly due to the lead times associated with procuring collection fleet. Suppliers should note that the ability to mobilise services, including fleet procurement and deployment, will be a key consideration.
Indicative procurement timeline:
• ROI anticipated late June
• ROI close: July 2026
• RFT anticipated: late August to early September 2026
• Contract award: late 2026
• Service commencement: from July 2028 (aligned with existing contract expiries)
This notice is provided for advance information only. Further details will be released via GETS. Suppliers interested in this opportunity are encouraged to monitor GETS for updates.
