Summary of the contracting process

Aberdeenshire Council procured a mobile electric rollpacker for waste-disposal operations. The requirement was for a complete equipment supply rather than construction or a service, and was associated with Scotland Excel’s Waste Disposal Equipment framework. Delivery was for the Aberdeenshire Council area, serving the authority based at Woodhill House in Aberdeen. The equipment falls within the waste-processing and disposal machinery category, CPV 42914000. The requirement was structured as one lot covering the mobile electric rollpacker. This opportunity is relevant to manufacturers, distributors and specialist suppliers of electric waste-compaction or related waste-disposal equipment, particularly those able to supply equipment meeting a public authority’s technical specification and required delivery arrangements through an established procurement framework.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a direct call-off from Scotland Excel Framework 0923, Waste Disposal Equipment. It used a limited procedure without prior publication of a competition notice because the authority concluded that only one framework supplier could provide a compliant product within the required timescale. Bergmann Direct Ltd was awarded the requirement for the single lot. The contract was signed on 30 June 2026, is active, and is valued at £152,730. One bid was recorded, submitted electronically by a non-EU supplier. The award rationale was technical exclusivity: market verification found no alternative framework supplier able to meet the specification and delivery requirement. The procurement was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement.

This award indicates demand from Aberdeenshire Council for specialist mobile electric rollpacking equipment within its waste-disposal operations. A future competitor would need to offer a compliant mobile electric rollpacker, demonstrate that its equipment meets the authority’s technical specification, and provide delivery within the required timescale. Suppliers are likely to be best placed where they have direct access to suitable equipment, strong technical knowledge of electric waste-compaction machinery, and the operational capacity to fulfil a complete public-sector equipment supply reliably. Framework participation or an equivalent route into public procurement would also be commercially important, since this requirement was bought through an established Scotland Excel framework and the selected supplier was the only framework supplier judged able to meet the stated technical and delivery conditions.
