Static Compactors, Baler and Sorting Line - Repairs & Maintenance Services

Ubico Ltd operates a network of depots and Household Waste Recycling Centres (HWRCs) across Gloucestershire. These sites utilise a wide range of plant and machinery, including static and mobile compactors, sorting lines, baling machines and associated equipment, all of which are critical to the effective delivery of waste management and recycling services. The reliability and safe operation of this equipment is essential to ensuring that services run smoothly, minimising downtime, and protecting both staff and service users.

Ubico has an in-house team of technicians who carry out routine servicing and day-to-day maintenance of the equipment. However, due to the specialist nature of certain tasks and the scale of operations across multiple sites, additional external support is required. The appointed supplier will provide specialist service and maintenance expertise to complement Ubico’s internal resource, particularly in areas such as major repairs, electrical diagnostics, technical fault finding, hydraulic servicing, and software updates. The supplier will also be required to provide parts, cover for periods of staff absence, and emergency call out support to ensure continuity of service.

The contract will cover both planned preventative maintenance (PPM) and reactive works. This includes annual inspections, repairs to address breakdowns, refurbishment of equipment where required, and the timely supply and fitting of genuine parts to maximise equipment life and operational efficiency. In addition, the supplier will support Ubico by training internal technicians and operators, ensuring that high standards of operation, repair and safety compliance are maintained across all sites.

This procurement seeks to appoint a supplier who can work in partnership with Ubico to ensure that compactors, balers, sorting lines and associated equipment are maintained to the highest standard. The supplier will play a key role in minimising downtime, promoting value for money, and ensuring Ubico continues to deliver reliable, safe, and efficient waste and recycling services throughout Gloucestershire.
