OJEU - F2 - Contract Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Orkney Islands Council is seeking contractors for kerbside waste collection and related services for domestic and commercial waste on Eday, Sanday, Stronsay, Westray, North Ronaldsay, Papa Westray, and Rousay, Egilsay and Wyre. The work includes weekly residual-waste collections from homes, businesses and litter bins, scheduled bulky-waste collections, and supplying and delivering consumables for service users. The services support the Council’s statutory waste-management responsibilities. The procurement is divided into seven island-based lots, allowing suppliers to focus on individual islands or bid for several. Delivery is across the Orkney Islands, with each lot covering the islands named above. The requirement is for waste collection and associated services (CPV 90511200).

The Council invited tenders through an open procedure. The submission deadline was 2 November 2026 at 12:00, with the bid opening scheduled for 12:30 that day. The estimated total value across the procurement is £1,068,006. Individual lot estimates range from £82,397 for Eday to £219,745 for Sanday; each is based on a five-year contract. The stated initial term is three years, with two optional 12-month extensions at the Council’s discretion. Start dates vary by island: 20 December 2026 for Sanday, Stronsay, Westray, North Ronaldsay and Papa Westray; 1 January 2027 for Rousay, Egilsay and Wyre; and 24 January 2027 for Eday. Bids are assessed on price and quality: most lots allocate 70% to price and 24% to a method statement; Papa Westray instead allocates 70% to price and 3% to contract management. Suppliers may bid for any number of lots, and combinations are unrestricted.

This opportunity suits waste-management operators able to deliver regular collections across island communities, including services for domestic and commercial customers and litter bins. Contractors need to plan scheduled bulky-waste collections and provide the consumables that support collection services and user participation. The seven separate island lots create scope for providers with capacity to serve a single island as well as operators able to cover multiple island areas; bids can be submitted for any combination. Suppliers should be prepared to explain their service delivery approach through a method statement, or, for Papa Westray, their contract-management approach, alongside a competitive price. The Council’s selection assessment covers suitability, economic standing and technical capability, with the relevant requirements set out through the Scottish Single Procurement Document process. The service is a recurring public-sector requirement, with a further procurement anticipated in July or August 2031.
