Hills Waste Solutions secures new Wiltshire Council waste management contract

Hills Waste Solutions has successfully secured each of the five contracts offered in the recent procurement process for the provision of waste collection and waste management services for Wiltshire Council.

The announcement was made at a Wiltshire Council cabinet meeting on 19 January 2016 where it was confirmed that Hills had been awarded Lot 2 (management of household recycling centres) and Lot 5 (waste collection services). Lots 1, 3 and 4 were awarded to Hills in July 2015. As with all major public contracts, this decision is now subject to a 10 day standstill period which ends on 30 January 2016.

Hills will be responsible for the collection and recycling of Wiltshire residents’ household and garden waste together with all kerbside recycling, 11 household recycling centres and the treatment and disposal of residual waste.

Each of the five contracts awarded will commence on 1 August 2017 and run for 8 years, with the option for the council to extend each contract by a further 8 years.

Mike Webster, group director Hill Waste Solutions, said: “We are delighted to have secured the contract and look forward to providing Wiltshire residents with the same high levels of service and efficiency as we have done for the past 20 years.”

“We will be working closely Wiltshire Council and the outgoing contractors over the coming months to ensure a smooth transition during our mobilisation phase.”
