Summary of the contracting process

Scotland Excel, a central purchasing body in Scotland, is currently at the tender stage for the procurement of the "Supply and Delivery of Recycle and Refuse Containers" framework. This framework, valued at £50 million, covers a range of container types such as 2 wheeled bins, waste containers over 500L, kerbside boxes, and more, for use across the 32 Scottish council areas and associated members. The framework follows an open procedure and includes the possibility of up to 25 participants in electronic auctions. The tender process is guided by the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015, with the contract period lasting four years. The submission deadline is set for 24th October 2025, with awards commencing on the same day. Contracts as part of this framework will see deliveries executed within various Scottish locations.

The opportunity presents significant potential for businesses involved in the manufacturing and supply of waste and recycling containers to expand their footprint in the Scottish public sector. The procurement’s focus on goods such as recyclable and refuse containers ensures that businesses specializing in these areas have a strong opportunity to compete, particularly those capable of meeting quality and cost criteria, as detailed by the technical and financial requirements listed. Businesses can further leverage this opportunity by evidencing compliance with quality, health and safety, and environmental standards, thus establishing themselves as competitive suppliers in this sector. The inclusion of community benefits within the tender also provides an additional avenue for businesses to contribute positively to the Scottish communities and demonstrate their corporate responsibility.
