Summary of the contracting process

West Lothian Council has awarded a contract titled "Treatment & Disposal of WUDS containing POPs" to Hamilton Waste & Recycling Ltd following the completion of a mini-competition under Scotland Excel. The procurement process falls under the category of services specifically related to "Refuse and waste related services" with a legal basis adhering to EU Directive 2014/24/EU. This award, dated 14 July 2026, was executed through a limited procurement method without a prior call for competition and is active with a contract value of £1,020,000. The service will be executed in the region identified as UKM78, which corresponds to West Lothian, Scotland.

This tender provides significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in waste management services, particularly those capable of handling waste upholstered domestic seating containing persistent organic pollutants. Businesses with the ability to offer high-quality services at competitive pricing stand to benefit, given that the award criteria were based 40% on quality and 60% on price. Large enterprises with experience in similar refuse and waste-related contracts would likely have been well-suited to compete in this award, although only a single bid was ultimately received and accepted due to the specialised nature of the requirement and procurement process constraints.
