Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Borders Council has successfully completed the procurement process for the "Purchase of Gully Emptiers," specifically acquiring two Bucher GullyFlex C80 vehicles. Identified under the industry category of goods, the contract pertains to general public services within the UKM91 region. The procurement method followed was limited, with the rationale centred on the immediate availability of these demo vehicles. The procurement process reached the award stage, with the contract signed on 14th April 2025 and currently active, representing a total value of £355,000 GBP.

This procurement presents growth opportunities primarily for large-scale suppliers in the vehicle manufacturing and municipal equipment industries, particularly those capable of providing specialised vehicles like gully emptiers. The contract with Bucher Municipal, a supplier known for such niche products, exemplifies the type of business necessary to meet these specific requirements. Businesses looking to expand in regional or local authority services should focus on capabilities related to critical municipal services and equipment supply, following similar procurement processes where the absence of competition demands targeted technical expertise.
