Summary of the contracting process

Aberdeenshire Council procured collection, treatment and recycling services for street sweepings and gully waste (CPV 90514000). The requirement covers waste collected from various points across Aberdeenshire. Lot 1 concerns street sweepings and gully waste from waste management facilities. Lot 2 concerns gully waste from Roads Department sites throughout Aberdeenshire. This is a waste management and recycling services opportunity, involving collection and processing of material from council operations. The council is the contracting organisation and buyer. The awarded supplier, A and M Smith Recycling Services Ltd, is based in Portlethen and is classified as an SME. Community benefits form part of the requirement, including environmental, economic and fair work outcomes connected with delivery.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a selective restricted procedure. A minimum of five candidates were required for the second stage, with invitations issued on 2 July 2026; the tender deadline was 2 July 2026 at 12:00. A and M Smith Recycling Services Ltd was awarded both lots. Lot 1 has a contract value of £731,107.50 and Lot 2 £48,591, both in GBP. Both contracts were signed on 31 July 2026 and run from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2028, with an optional 12-month extension for each. Two bids were received for each lot. Selection covered suitability, economic and technical criteria, with details provided through the SPD Form. Variants were not permitted.

This award demonstrates established council demand for outsourced collection and recycling of street sweepings and gully waste across a substantial local area, with separate workstreams for waste management facilities and Roads Department sites. A credible future competitor would need practical collection capacity, suitable waste treatment and recycling infrastructure, and the ability to handle material from multiple council collection points. The successful supplier committed to maximising recovery through a soil washing plant, recovering sand, grit, stone and silt for reuse and providing a zero-landfill solution. It also demonstrated fair-work and workforce capability through Scottish Real Living Wage pay, stable long-term employment, continual staff training and skills development. SMEs competed successfully, with two SME bids recorded for each lot.
