Summary of the contracting process

The Highland Council has announced the completion of its Waste Management Services tender, designated HC/C&P/WMS/2025, targeting the general public services sector. The project includes three lots: Lot 2A for the receipt, transfer, transport, treatment, and/or disposal of residual waste in Lochaber, Lot 2B for the receipt, transfer, and transport of co-mingled recyclate from Lochaber to an Authority-identified treatment facility, and Lot 2C for the receipt, transfer, and haulage of Waste Upholstered Domestic Seating (WUDS) to a treatment facility. The procurement process, which employed a limited method due to the specific operational requirements in Lochaber, culminated in contracts signed on 18th December 2024. These services will commence around July/August 2025, ensuring planned waste management during this interim period in the UKM62 region.

This tender presents significant opportunities for SMEs specializing in waste management, logistics, and recycling services. Bowmans (Locheil Logistics Ltd), an SME based in Fort William, was awarded all three lots, indicating the potential for smaller enterprises to secure substantial contracts under specific operational conditions. Businesses with capabilities in handling and processing various types of waste material, particularly those that can establish or operate waste transfer stations, will find this tender conducive to their growth. The structured procurement method ensures that contracts are awarded to capable and prepared suppliers, fostering a competitive yet fair environment for businesses aiming to expand their operations within the waste management sector.
