Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for establishing a Circular Construction Hub in Scotland involved a detailed feasibility study aimed at assessing potential business model options. The buyer, Zero Waste Scotland Ltd, a national agency focused on environmental protection, procured this service under an EU Horizon-funded project, CirCoFin, with backing from the European Union. Classified under 'Environmental services', the contract valued at £150,000 was awarded through an open procedure. This procurement process, now at the award stage, was completed with the contract signed on 27th February 2026. Notably, Drees & Sommer UK Limited was selected as the supplier, with the project falling under the 'services' procurement category and requiring delivery within the UK region.

This tender provides substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in environmental services, particularly those capable of conducting mixed-method feasibility studies within the construction sector. With a focus on circular innovation in the built environment, contributors experienced in dismantling, reuse, refurbishment, and repair of building stock are well-suited to this project, making it a growth opportunity for firms working on sustainable construction practices. Companies that can demonstrate strong technical knowledge, collaborative working skills, and effective contract management practices are ideally positioned to benefit from such projects. SMEs, in particular, have shown strong interest and competition, as evidenced by the number of bids submitted, with many coming from within and outside the European Union.
