Summary of the contracting process

The East Lothian Council recently completed the procurement process for pressure washer units, a project which involved acquiring four modular units for vehicle and plant washing at two site locations, Macmerry and Kinwegar. The procurement falls under the category of general public services and addresses the need for environmentally friendly cleaning solutions, aligning with Scotland's Circular Economy Act 2024. This open procurement process resulted in the contract being awarded to Rhinowash Ltd, valued at £284,400. Key stages of the procurement included a tender period that concluded on 17th July 2025, with the contract being signed on 30th July 2025. The procurement was conducted as an open procedure, inviting competition and ensuring transparency.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses, particularly in the environmental and industrial cleaning sectors. Companies equipped to deliver sustainable and innovative cleaning technologies will find this contract model highly appealing, particularly due to the emphasis on reducing carbon footprint and extending product lifecycle through design. Businesses focusing on circular economy practices and those capable of providing hefty guarantees on their products are well-suited to participate in similar future contracts with the East Lothian Council and other regional authorities. The move towards green procurement signals an increasing demand for solutions that contribute positively to both organisational operations and the environment, paving the way for business growth in eco-friendly markets.
