Summary of the contracting process

Public Services Delivery Scotland bought sack holders for different types of waste disposal through a framework agreement. The products are intended for NHS Scotland Health Boards, Special Health Boards and other NHS organisations, as well as Scottish hospices, the Prince & Princess of Wales Hospice and joint integration boards. Deliveries may be required across NHS Scotland locations. This is a goods procurement for equipment used in healthcare and related settings to collect and manage waste. The framework is available to the named public bodies and organisations across Scotland, so suppliers should be able to serve multiple healthcare and hospice sites rather than a single delivery location.

The procurement is complete and the framework has been awarded following an open procedure. Trojan Bins, U Group Ltd and Wybone Limited were selected as suppliers for the single lot. The framework contract is active and was signed on 16 September 2026. Its stated contract value is £1,304,000. The tender used a framework agreement; the lot description says the indicative value is based on historical NHS Scotland spending and is not guaranteed. Evaluation weighted price at 70% and quality and sustainability at 30%. Three bids were received, all from small and medium-sized enterprises. The source data does not provide the framework end date or the award decision date, so the contract period and award date cannot be stated.

The award shows recurring public-sector demand for sack holders used in waste disposal across NHS Scotland and Scottish hospices, with purchasing consolidated through a framework intended for multiple public bodies. Suppliers competing for a comparable requirement would need to provide products suited to varying waste-disposal needs and support delivery across healthcare and hospice sites in Scotland. The evaluation gave price the greater weight, while quality and sustainability also formed a substantial part of the assessment, so credible suppliers would need competitive pricing alongside evidence of product quality and sustainable provision. Participation also required agreement to support community benefits. Suppliers were asked to describe benefits already delivered in Scotland and their outcomes, and to set out proposed benefits or commit to using NHS Scotland’s Community Benefits Gateway.
