Summary of the contracting process

Perth & Kinross Council appointed a service provider to supply and maintain textile banks, deliver them to Council-specified locations, empty them regularly and process the collected textiles for reuse and recycling. The requirement currently covers 65 banks, although the number may change during the contract. The service is delivered across Perth and Kinross.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Nathans Wastesavers Ltd. It was run as a restricted procedure, with one bid recorded. The contract was signed on 28 April 2026 and is valued at £3,763. It is for two years from 31 May 2026, with options for three additional one-year periods. The procurement was structured as one lot. The Council described using a dynamic purchasing system as its proposed approach; the award information does not state an evaluation basis.

For suppliers considering this requirement when it next returns to market, the work calls for the practical capability to provide and maintain a changing network of textile banks, service them regularly across Perth and Kinross, and handle collected textiles for reuse and recycling. Credible providers will need suitable experience and operational capacity for collection logistics and textile processing, with the flexibility to accommodate changes in the number of banks. The selected supplier was Nathans Wastesavers Ltd, and the procurement received one bid, showing that a supplier able to deliver this focused service can compete through a restricted procedure. The Council’s stated preference for a dynamic purchasing system also indicates a route based on supplier pre-qualification and control over tender specifications.

Processing of Textiles

Notice Description

The Council is seeking a contractor for the provision and maintenance of textile banks and uplift of textiles for reuse and recycling. There are currently 65 banks needed however this number will vary throughout the length of the contract. It is proposed that the DPS option is pursued. The use of the DPS recognises that suppliers have already carried out the work to be pre-qualified and is less resource intensive but still allows Local Authorities to have control over specifications within the tender. The use of a DPS also honours the Councils preferred procurement hierarchy.
