Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Circular Construction Hub(s) in Scotland – Feasibility Study" was initiated by Zero Waste Scotland Ltd, focusing on environmental protection within the UK region. It involved an open tendering method to secure a supplier with the expertise needed for a feasibility study under the CirCoFin project. This EU-funded initiative aims to drive circular innovation in the built environment. The procurement stage has progressed from tender to award, with the contract being active and valued at £150,000. The initial tender closed in December 2025, leading to the award to Drees & Sommer UK Limited in March 2026. Stakeholders involved include Stirling Sheriff Court as a review body and Zero Waste Scotland Ltd as the buyer.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for firms skilled in environmental conservation, particularly those involved in sustainable construction practices. With a focus on dismantling, reuse, refurbishment, and repair of building stock, businesses specialising in these areas can leverage their expertise to contribute to the EU's circular economy objectives. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly well-suited to compete, given that a majority of bids received were from SMEs. The procurement process encouraged electronic submissions, fostering participation in line with modern bidding practices.
