Summary of the contracting process

The City of Edinburgh Council procured repair services for its existing stock of council-owned skips used at household waste and recycling centres. The work falls within the construction and engineering works category and covers repairs to skips rather than the supply of new units. Delivery is in Edinburgh. The requirement was raised by the Council’s Neighbourhood Environmental Services Division. This is a local-authority maintenance opportunity for businesses able to inspect, repair and return waste and recycling containers to service. The procurement covered one requirement and was treated as works, with the technical scope set out for the Council’s skips and related repair activities.

The procurement is complete and was awarded following an open procedure. One lot was used. Two electronic bids were received, both from SMEs, and James Blake Co Engineers Limited was selected. The contract was signed on 7 May 2026 and is active, with a value of £144,000. The tender submission deadline was 16 March 2026 at 12:00, followed by bid opening at 12:30 at Edinburgh Council Waverley Court. The initial contract period is 720 days, with two possible 12-month renewals. Bids had to remain valid for 120 days and variants were not allowed. Selection included suitability requirements through the Single Procurement Document, and suppliers with more than five employees had to hold a regularly reviewed, senior-approved health and safety policy.

This award demonstrates an established Council requirement for maintaining a stock of waste and recycling skips in Edinburgh, with sufficient scale for an experienced specialist repair contractor or engineering SME. A credible future supplier would need practical capability in skip, container, steelwork or comparable equipment repairs, together with the capacity to handle Council-owned assets and maintain service continuity across the requirement. The competition attracted two SME bids, showing that the work can be approached by smaller businesses rather than only national contractors. Suppliers should be prepared to evidence suitability through the Single Procurement Document, operate with robust health and safety controls, and deliver consistently against a defined repair specification. The Council expects the requirement to recur around six months before the contract or any extension ends.
