OJEU - F3 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Lothian Council, located in Livingston, has completed a public procurement process for the purchase of eight three-axle ejection trailers intended for waste transportation by Waste Disposal. This process falls under the industry category of General Public Services and was executed as an award without prior publication under the Scotland Excel 0321 Heavy Vehicles Framework Agreement. The contract, valued at £635,000, was directly awarded to BMI Trailers Ltd. and signed on 30th June 2026. The procurement method was classified as 'limited' and focused on goods, ensuring compliance with pertinent regional directives and frameworks.

This tender can offer substantial growth opportunities for businesses specialising in vehicle manufacturing, particularly those experienced in producing trailers or similar transportation equipment. BMI Trailers Ltd., an SME based in Dungannon, illustrates the potential for smaller enterprises to secure significant government contracts in specialised areas such as waste management and transportation logistics. Companies situated within the UK or those capable of serving the UK market, with quality and competitive pricing, would find themselves well-positioned to compete in similar tenders, as the procurement criteria emphasised these aspects significantly.
