Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Aberdeenshire Council has completed the procurement process for a Skip Hire Contract, designated under the CPV category 90500000 for refuse and waste-related services. This contract is crucial for supporting Housing and Building Standards and Housing Repairs operations across Aberdeenshire, with a specific focus on Fraserburgh, Peterhead, Banff, Inverurie, and Stonehaven. The contract, valued at GBP 40,000, was awarded to A & M Smith Skip Hire Ltd. due to an urgent requirement arising from the incumbent supplier's sudden cessation of services. The procurement process was conducted through a limited method, classified as an award procedure without prior publication, justified by extreme urgency. The contract was signed on 19th May 2026.

This tender offers significant growth opportunities for businesses within the waste management and recycling sectors, particularly those capable of providing reliable and flexible skip hire services. Small to medium-sized enterprises, like A & M Smith Skip Hire Ltd., with the capability to respond promptly to urgent public sector needs, can find a strong market in local authority contracts. Business opportunities arise from the critical need for consistent waste management solutions in supporting public housing maintenance, particularly when abrupt supplier changes occur. Companies that excel in quality and competitive pricing are well-positioned to capitalise on such exigent procurement requirements.
