Summary of the contracting process

Argyll and Bute Council has initiated a tendering process titled "Annual Water Analysis Services 2025-2028", aimed at procuring services to conduct annual analyses of ground and surface water, leachate, and trade effluent. This public procurement, currently in the tender stage, is part of the council's efforts to ensure compliance with site-specific Pollution Prevention and Control (PPC) Permits. Interested businesses have until 14th October 2025 to submit proposals electronically. The services required fall under the general public services category, with specific delivery locations identified across several regions, including Gartbreck, Glengorm, Gott Bay, Cliad, and Bonaveh in the UKM6 area.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities for companies specialising in environmental and water analysis services. An open procurement procedure invites wide competition, making this an attractive proposition for businesses that have the technical capacity and experience in managing effluent analysis and regulatory compliance work. Small to medium-sized enterprises with expertise in these areas, especially those based locally or with regional operations in Scotland, would be well-suited to bid for this long-term contract offering a three-year duration, providing ample business stability and engagement prospects.
