Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) has completed the procurement process for the "Provision of Scrap Vehicles" contract, under the limited procurement method. This contract involves the supply of scrap vehicles for multiple regions throughout Scotland, with lots specified for areas like the Western Isles, Aberdeenshire and Moray, and City of Glasgow, among others. Classified under CPV code 14630000 for slag, dross, ferrous waste, and scrap, the process has advanced to the award stage as of 29th May 2026. Contracts were signed on 27th May 2026, with suppliers such as A McKelvie, Mclaughlin Plant & Haulage, and others selected for various lots to enhance service resilience. The legal basis for the procurement follows EU Directive 2014/24/EU.

This procurement presents a significant business growth opportunity, particularly for SME suppliers specialising in motor vehicle recycling or demolition services. Suppliers with expertise in dismantling and recycling scrap vehicles stand to benefit, as this contract allows for multiple suppliers across regions to meet local needs, ensuring ongoing demand. Such opportunities are particularly advantageous for businesses in regions specified in the tender, offering potential for local economic development and supplier network expansion. The voluntary ex ante transparency notice ensures compliance and transparency, further encouraging robust competition among qualified suppliers.

Procurement Information

Despite best efforts and additional methods SFRS only received 5 bids in response to the open tender exercise. One of these was late and was rejected, two were non-compliant and two were compliant. Unfortunately only 6 lots out of the 26 original lots were covered by the 2 compliant bids. SFRS still requires these areas to be covered by at least one supplier.
