confidential waste collection service.

minimum spend by TfL. Therefore, TfL will only pay for the services it uses during the 
contract term. Lot 1a was advertised with the other three lots (Lots 1b, 1c and Lot 2) 
and the estimated total value of all four lots was £30m 

Start date: 16 November 2020

No decision has been made yet on whether the contract will be extended after the 
expiry date.
