Summary of the contracting process

East Lothian Council recently completed the procurement process for pressure washer units, classified under the CPV code 44532200, focusing on vehicle/plant washing at Macmerry and Kinwegar sites. The initiative, with an emphasis on sustainable practices, mandates an evergreen lifecycle for the washers, aligning with the Circular Economy Act 2024. The procurement, conducted under the open procedure, reached the award stage on 30th July 2025 with the contract valued at £284,400 awarded to Rhinowash Ltd. The process was under the legal framework of Directive 2014/24/EU with key performance expectations including community benefits upon spending thresholds and compliance with environmental directives.

This procurement offers significant business growth opportunities, especially for companies involved in sustainable industrial equipment. It is particularly beneficial for businesses that can demonstrate strong environmental management practices and provide innovative solutions aligned with circular economy principles. Suppliers with capabilities to deliver durable, eco-friendly products with long-term usage benefits, as well as those offering prompt payment policies and living wage commitments, would find such tenders well-suited to their expertise. With the regional authority actively seeking community benefits, businesses that can provide additional societal advantages may also gain favourable attention.
