Summary of the contracting process

SRUC (Scotland's Rural College) has completed the tender process for the "Contract for the Supply and Delivery of Biomass Fuel." This procurement process involved the supply of biomass fuel to two of SRUC’s sites located in Barony Campus (DG1 3NE) and Oban (PA34 4DW). This procurement activity used an open procedure method and the contract involved two lots, attracting both domestic and international bidders. The process reached the award stage, with contracts signed in mid-December 2024 for both sites. The main industry category for this tender was "goods" with a specific focus on biomass fuel (CPV code 09111400). Key milestones included the initial tender publication in October 2024, tender submission deadline in November 2024, and the subsequent contract awards in December 2024.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses involved in the supply and delivery of biomass fuel. The contract values, totalling £720,000 across both lots, represent considerable business growth potential. Biomass fuel suppliers, especially those registered on the Biomass Supplier List (BSL) or Sustainable Fuel Register (SFR), would find this contract well-suited to their expertise. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in sustainable energy solutions would especially benefit from competing for such contracts, given the clear requirements for professional ability and the competitive pricing criteria. This procurement process underlines SRUC's commitment to sustainability and innovation in its operational practices.
