Summary of the contracting process

This procurement covers waste and resource management services for Glasgow Clyde College, Glasgow Kelvin College, West College Scotland and City of Glasgow College. The appointed contractor is expected to manage the colleges’ waste, improve recycling performance and ensure that waste is not sent to landfill. It is a single service covering the participating institutions rather than separate requirements for each college. The work is delivered across the colleges’ estates in Glasgow and the surrounding west of Scotland, including sites in Glasgow and Paisley. The buyer is Glasgow Clyde College, acting for the four participating colleges. This is a public-sector education requirement for a supplier able to provide coordinated waste collection, treatment, recycling and resource management across multiple college locations.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following an open procedure. It used one lot and was an award against the APUC Waste Management Services framework. Enva Scotland Limited was selected as the supplier. The contract is active, has a value of £651,842, and was signed on 22 July 2026. Four bids were received, including two from small or medium-sized enterprises; all four bids were submitted electronically and came from EU-based bidders. The requirement was evaluated through the procurement process leading to a single-supplier appointment, although the published outcome does not set out a weighted evaluation breakdown. The colleges sought one contractor for the full waste and resource management service, rather than dividing delivery between multiple suppliers.

This award demonstrates established public-sector demand for a coordinated waste and resource management service across several further-education estates in the west of Scotland. A credible competitor would need to manage multiple sites through one operating model, provide reliable waste services at institutional scale and show practical ability to improve recycling performance. Experience in preventing waste from going to landfill would be central, alongside the operational capacity to collect, sort, recover and report on different waste streams. Suppliers should also be comfortable working with public-sector buyers and participating in a framework-based route to market. The presence of two SME bidders indicates that smaller specialist businesses may be able to compete, potentially through their own delivery capacity or a structured partnership, provided they can meet the requirements of a multi-college service.
