Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process led by Aberdeenshire Council, a regional authority in Aberdeen, involved a contract awarded for the "Disposal of POPS, Bulky & Residual Waste" services. The main industry category is refuse and waste related services, classified under CPV 90500000, with the primary service location in Aberdeenshire. The procurement stage currently is at the award and contract level, completed with Cireco (Scotland) LLP as the supplier. The contract, valued at £153,261, was signed on 27th June 2025. This tender was conducted through a limited procurement method due to extreme urgency from operational issues at the NESS Energy from Waste Facility, necessitating immediate action to fulfil statutory obligations.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities for local and regional waste management firms, particularly those that can respond swiftly and efficiently to urgent demands. Firms specialising in waste disposal and management, with the capability to manage bulky and residual waste, would be well-positioned to compete in such environments. The preference for services that maintain a balance between quality and price, as indicated by the award criteria, highlights the importance of competitive pricing coupled with superior service delivery. The participation of a small or medium-sized enterprise (SME) like Cireco (Scotland) LLP demonstrates the procurement process's support for SME involvement in public service contracts.
