OJEU - F2 - Contract Notice
Summary of the contracting process

East Ayrshire Council, a regional local authority based in Kilmarnock, has awarded a contract for the recycling of paper and cardboard. The procurement process, identified by the ID PS/26/33, employed an open procedure as part of its main services category. The Council sought a service provider to purchase previously collected and segregated materials from council depots within East Ayrshire, with an estimated volume of 5,000 tonnes per annum. The contract, valued at £1,300,000 and effective as of 23 June 2026, was awarded to Recycled Packaging Ltd, a small to medium-sized enterprise (SME) based in Glasgow. This procurement process included an award stage with submissions due by 18 May 2026, and involved electronic submission methods.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for SMEs specialising in recycling and waste management to engage with regional authorities. Businesses with capabilities in handling large volumes of recyclable materials, and those holding appropriate waste licenses, would find this opportunity beneficial for growth and diversification. The contract's scope and duration, along with the possibility of two one-year extensions, offer a stable revenue stream. Companies experienced in electronic invoicing, ordering, and payment systems would further align with the stipulated contract terms, creating beneficial partnerships with entities like East Ayrshire Council.
