Summary of the contracting process

Scottish Borders Council has completed the procurement process for the acquisition of a food collection vehicle, with the award of the contract to FAUN Zoeller (UK) Limited. The procurement was conducted under the category of general public services, specifically targeting goods within the region UKM91. The process followed a limited procurement method due to the specialised nature of the vehicle, being an ex-demo model with immediate availability. The contract, valued at £135,820, was signed on 2nd September 2025, and the procurement was executed without a prior call for competition, justified by the absence of technical competition.

This procurement offers significant opportunities for businesses capable of supplying specialised vehicles for municipal services, especially those that can provide unique offerings not available from other suppliers. Companies specialising in customised or ready-to-deploy refuse collection vehicles are primed to benefit, particularly small and medium enterprises that can quickly adapt to specific technical requirements. The procurement procedure highlights the potential for SMEs to secure contracts through direct awards when they can address unique needs or demonstrate immediate availability of necessary goods or services.
