Summary of the contracting process

The Highland Council has successfully completed the procurement process for the "Waste Management Services - Lot 3 Badenoch & Strathspey" project, focusing on the receipt and bulking of mixed paper and card material in the Badenoch and Strathspey area. The key location for service delivery is Granish Quarry in Aviemore (PH22 1QD). This limited procurement process, which began with the tender initiation, culminated in awarding the contract on 6th January 2025. The project falls under the general public services category, specifically waste management, with technical reasons cited for selecting a particular supplier due to the absence of competition in the area.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for enterprises involved in waste management and recycling services. David Ritchie & Sons Limited, an SME based in Carr-Bridge, has been awarded this contract, valuing at GBP 76,456. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) equipped to handle waste materials effectively will find similar opportunities to expand their market presence by engaging in public sector contracts, especially in areas with unique service requirements and limited competition.
