Summary of the contracting process

Aberdeen City Council, operating as the buyer, has completed the procurement process for the "Disposal of Residual Waste" contract, classified under the CPV code 90500000, which falls within the general public services category. The procurement was necessitated by unforeseen and urgent circumstances affecting the NESS Energy from Waste Facility. The procurement method used was a limited procedure, specifically negotiated without prior publication due to extreme urgency. The contract has been awarded to SUEZ Recycling & recovery UK Ltd, covering services primarily in the region of Aberdeen, with the disposal activities centred around the Stoneyhill Landfill. Key milestones include the signing of the contract on 27th June 2025, and its active status is indicative of the ongoing service commencement.

This tender presents strategic opportunities for businesses involved in waste management and recycling services. Companies that can ensure rapid mobilisation and have experience in handling urgent waste management situations will be well-suited to compete for similar contracts in future. Given the nature of the limited procurement process and the size of the contract, significant expertise and capacity to deliver under tight timelines will benefit potential bidders. The successful execution by SUEZ Recycling & recovery UK Ltd, a large-scale enterprise, underscores the potential scale of opportunity and the importance of demonstrating reliability and quality in service provision.
