Summary of the contracting process

South Ayrshire Council procured services for the treatment of recyclates across South Ayrshire. The requirement covers handling recyclable materials in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Scotland Excel Recyclable and Residual Waste Dynamic Purchasing System, reference 2717. It is a waste treatment and recycling opportunity, classified under CPV 90514000, refuse recycling services. The procurement was managed by South Ayrshire Council, based in Ayr. The requirement was run as a mini-competition within the Scotland Excel recycling and residual waste DPS, so it was aimed at suppliers already appointed to that purchasing system. The selected service providers are Smurfit Westrock UK Ltd and LOWMAC ALLOYS.

This procurement has been awarded following a mini-competition under the Scotland Excel Recyclable and Residual Waste Dynamic Purchasing System. Three bids were recorded. The contract was awarded to Smurfit Westrock UK Ltd and LOWMAC ALLOYS, with both suppliers named against the award. The published award value is £0 GBP, and the associated contract is recorded as active. The award is for treatment of recyclates for South Ayrshire Council. The procurement used a competitive DPS call-off route rather than a standalone open tender. The award record does not set out an award date, contract start or end date, contract duration, lots, or evaluation criteria.

This process indicates a requirement for suppliers able to treat recyclates for a local authority and operate within the Scotland Excel Recyclable and Residual Waste Dynamic Purchasing System. Suppliers seeking to compete for comparable work from South Ayrshire Council would need a credible recyclate treatment service, suitable operational capacity for council waste streams, and the ability to meet the DPS terms and conditions. The award of two suppliers shows that the requirement can support more than one service provider. Relevant businesses include waste treatment and recycling operators with experience delivering public-sector services and with the organisational capability to respond to mini-competitions through an established dynamic purchasing system.
