Planning Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Prison Service plans to procure the management of non-hazardous controlled waste across its estate. The service covers on-site storage, collection, transfer, treatment and final disposal, with source segregation and separate collection of dry mixed recyclables and residual waste. Recyclable materials include paper, card, glass, metals, cans, plastics, textiles and wood. The work is waste treatment and recycling services, including provision of waste containers. Delivery is across the Scottish Prison Service estate in Scotland.

This is at the planning stage: the Scottish Prison Service has set out its intention to award a contract, but has not yet issued an invitation to tender. It expects to publish a contract notice on 14 December 2026, followed by an invitation to tender and Single Procurement Document. The buyer says tender responses will be assessed against the requirements in that invitation. The planned procurement is presented as one lot. No contract duration or financial value is stated at this stage.

The planned service is suited to waste management and recycling providers able to handle non-hazardous controlled waste across a dispersed public estate. Suppliers should be equipped to manage the full waste chain, from safe on-site storage and collection through transfer, treatment and disposal, while maintaining environmental compliance. The buyer is looking for reliable source segregation and separate collections for a broad range of dry recyclables as well as residual waste. Providers with the operational capacity to supply or manage waste containers and coordinate services across multiple locations are likely to be well placed. The stated aim is safe, appropriate and environmentally compliant waste management for the Scottish Prison Service.
