Summary of the contracting process

Aberdeenshire Council and Moray Council procured bulk haulage of residual waste to an energy-from-waste facility in Aberdeen. The requirement covered two service areas: transport from five Aberdeenshire waste transfer stations to EfW Aberdeen, and transport from the Moray Council site in Elgin to the same destination. This is a waste transport and logistics service, classified under CPV 90514000, rather than the operation of the energy-from-waste facility itself. The work serves council waste management operations across Aberdeenshire and Moray, with collection activity at council sites and delivery to Aberdeen. Suppliers therefore need to operate suitable bulk haulage services linking waste transfer infrastructure with the Aberdeen treatment destination.

The procurement has been awarded following an open procedure. The Aberdeenshire Sites lot was awarded to Seafield Park Transport, an SME, and its contract is valued at £3,229,238.08. The Moray Council Site lot was awarded to AW Jenkinson Transport, and its contract is valued at £3,341,250. Both contracts were signed on 28 July 2026. Each lot was evaluated on quality weighted at 40% and price weighted at 60%. Four bids were received for each lot, including two SME bids in each case; all bids were electronic. The tender record shows both lots as cancelled, but active awards and active contracts are recorded for both requirements, so the outcome is two separate awarded haulage contracts.

This outcome demonstrates established public-sector demand for high-volume residual-waste haulage between council transfer sites and an energy-from-waste facility in Aberdeen. A credible future competitor would need dependable bulk transport operations, the capacity to serve multiple collection sites, and the ability to coordinate regular movements into a treatment facility. Coverage across Aberdeenshire or Moray, or a demonstrable regional operating model, would be commercially relevant. The evaluation gives quality greater weight than price alone, so evidence of reliable service delivery, operational planning, resilience and effective waste logistics would matter alongside competitive rates. The competition also shows that smaller firms can participate: two SME bids were received for each lot, although the awards went to suppliers of different scales.
