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

Aberdeenshire Council, working with Moray Council, procured bulk haulage of residual waste to an energy-from-waste facility in Aberdeen. The service covers two operating requirements: transporting residual waste from five Aberdeenshire waste transfer stations, and transporting residual waste from the Moray Council site at Elgin. The work is a waste transport and haulage service, classified under CPV 90514000. Aberdeenshire Council is the lead buying organisation and central purchasing body, while Moray Council is also a buyer. Delivery activity is connected to Aberdeenshire, Elgin and Aberdeen. The requirement is therefore relevant to operators able to collect, bulk-load and transport residual municipal waste from council waste facilities to an energy-from-waste destination.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded through an open procedure. The two lots were evaluated on quality (40%) and price (60%). Lot 1, covering Aberdeenshire sites, was awarded to Seafield Park Transport on 7 August 2026 for £3,229,238.08, with an active contract signed on 28 July 2026. Lot 2, covering the Moray Council site, was awarded to AW Jenkinson Transport on 7 August 2026 for £3,341,250, also under an active contract signed on 28 July 2026. Four bids were received for each lot, including two SME bids in each case, and all bids were submitted electronically. The procurement was conducted as an open procedure despite the original notice using a two-stage workflow.

For a future requirement from these councils, credible competitors would need proven capability in bulk haulage of residual municipal waste, with the vehicles, drivers and operational capacity to move regular waste volumes from council transfer facilities to an energy-from-waste plant in Aberdeen. The two awarded lots show demand across both a multi-site Aberdeenshire operation and a separate Moray Council site, so suppliers able to manage route planning, reliable collections, safe loading and delivery coordination would be well placed. The evaluation placed greater emphasis on price than quality, making efficient fleet utilisation and dependable service delivery important alongside a clear quality method. Both an SME and a large transport company were awarded work, indicating that bids can be credible at different business scales.
