Summary of the contracting process

The University of Glasgow bought chemical waste disposal services for its operations in Glasgow. The requirement covers the handling and disposal of chemical substances and materials, within the wider waste-management service category. It was a single requirement under the APUC Framework Agreement EFM1055 AP Waste Management, Lot C: Chemical Substances & Materials. The university is an education-sector public body and the contracting buyer. The selected service provider was Avanti Environmental Group Ltd, an SME based at Knowsley Industrial Estate in Knowsley. This opportunity is therefore relevant to suppliers providing compliant chemical-waste collection, treatment, disposal and associated environmental services, particularly those able to serve university facilities in Glasgow through an established public-sector framework route.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. It was described as a direct award from the APUC Framework Agreement EFM1055 AP Waste Management, Lot C, although the procedure is also recorded as an open procedure. The contract was signed on 18 August 2026 by the University of Glasgow and Avanti Environmental Group Ltd. The awarded contract value is £200,000. The procurement was evaluated through the framework route and received one bid, which was from an SME; the bid was submitted electronically. The tender and its single lot are complete. Avanti Environmental Group Ltd was awarded the full requirement, and no contract options were included.

This award shows that the University of Glasgow has a defined requirement for specialist chemical-waste disposal in Glasgow and uses the APUC waste-management framework to procure it. Suppliers considering future work with this buyer would need credible capability in managing chemical substances and materials safely, legally and reliably, with arrangements for collection, transport, treatment and final disposal. They would also need the operational capacity to support an education-sector site environment and demonstrate dependable environmental and waste-management controls. The winning supplier was an SME, indicating that the requirement can suit a specialist provider rather than only a large national contractor. Experience of public-sector framework delivery and the ability to submit electronically would strengthen a competing supplier’s position.
