Summary of the contracting process

East Dunbartonshire Council has completed a procurement process for the supply of two 7.5 tonne refuse collection vehicles, a project falling under the category of general public services and recreational, cultural, and religious activities. This procurement was executed using an open procedure aimed at acquiring goods, specifically taking place at the Hilton Depot in Bishopbriggs. The process reached the award stage, culminating with the contract being signed on 8th August 2025. The tender was initially publicised in June 2025, with the awarding phase commencing on 7th July 2025, involving a budget of £234,550. The primary criteria for the award focused significantly on price (70%) with considerations for quality (30%), providing a balanced evaluation framework for potential suppliers. East Dunbartonshire Council’s Civic & Corporate Headquarters in Kirkintilloch played the role of the buying entity, ensuring the process adhered to legal and administrative standards.

Such a procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in vehicle manufacturing and supply to engage with public sector projects, particularly those firms that can deliver high-quality refuse vehicles efficiently within stipulated timelines. Small and medium enterprises, especially those like Farid Hillend Engineering Limited—an SME which successfully secured the contract—may find opportunities to expand their presence in the sector by participating in similar open tenders. Such ventures can provide a solid foundation for sustained business growth by establishing reputable commercial relationships with regional or local authorities. Aspiring suppliers with robust economic and technical capacities, and experience in similar contracts, would be well-suited to compete in this sector.
