Below-threshold contracts: our differentiator
Nearly 40% of Belgian public spending is awarded below the mandatory publication thresholds. Discover our coverage of unpublished contracts and take a decisive edge over your competitors.
Collection, sorting, treatment, soil remediation, environmental management: detect every tender before your competitors with GPC Gov.
They win public contracts with GPC Gov
Waste collection and treatment is a municipal responsibility, carried out in Belgium by the municipalities themselves and by inter-municipal waste companies. Over the past twelve months nearly 3,600 waste and environment contracts were published, issued by more than 1,000 contracting authorities.
These are long, usually multi-year contracts with a known expiry date: a collection contract reaching its term is an announced tender. Spotting them early means preparing a considered bid rather than discovering the notice three weeks before the deadline.

One-off removals and small lots never reach the official platforms. GPC Gov surfaces them anyway.
The sector combines very large inter-municipal collection contracts with a mass of small municipal ones: containers, green waste, one-off removals, soil surveys. Everyone sees the former; the latter go unnoticed although they fill an order book.
GPC Gov monitors both, including contracts with no publication requirement, and alerts you by CPV code and by area. You see a contract renewal coming before it is published everywhere.

3,877 contracts over the past twelve months, issued by 1,088 contracting authorities. The sector stands out for the concentration of its buyers: three times fewer authorities than consultancy for a comparable volume, because the competence is exercised through inter-municipal companies rather than municipality by municipality.
Collection is a municipal responsibility, usually delegated to an inter-municipal waste company. Add to that the regions for soil remediation, hospitals for clinical waste, ports and industrial parks for industrial waste, and schools for separate collection.
The 905xx codes for waste itself — 90500 generic, 90510 for disposal and treatment, 90511 for collection, 90513 for household and non-hazardous waste — and the 907xx codes for the environment, including 90712 for planning and 90732 for soil pollution.
These contracts are multi-year and expire on a known date: the previous award notice states the duration, hence the expiry. Following an inter-municipal company's award history gives several months' notice before publication — time that matters when sizing a fleet and a depot.
Only 6%, the lowest proportion of the sectors we cover. The amounts involved almost always exceed the publication thresholds. The benefit of monitoring here is not exclusivity but timing: being alerted on the day of publication rather than by chance.
