Summary of the contracting process

Stirling Council is buying a garden-waste treatment and transfer service for waste collected in Stirling and Clackmannanshire. The work covers handling and moving the garden waste for onward treatment; the requirement is classified as a waste-management service (CPV 90500000). Clackmannanshire Council is also listed as a buyer. The procurement was arranged through Scotland Excel’s Organics Framework, so the requirement sits within an established framework for organics services. The named supplier, Forth Resource Management Ltd, is based in North Berwick. The contract concerns one lot covering treatment and transfer of garden waste across the two council areas.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Forth Resource Management Ltd. The councils used an open procedure through Scotland Excel’s Organics Framework. One lot covered the treatment and transfer service, and one bid was recorded, from an SME. The contract value is £768,000. It was signed on 29 September 2026 and is active. The published award information does not provide an award decision date or contract start and end dates, so the contract duration cannot be stated. The available information does not set out eligibility requirements or evaluation criteria. The recorded bid came from a non-EU supplier and was submitted electronically.

This award demonstrates demand from Stirling Council and Clackmannanshire Council for a combined garden-waste treatment and transfer service across both council areas, procured through Scotland Excel’s Organics Framework. A credible competitor would need to show it can manage the collection-to-treatment transfer and arrange suitable treatment capacity for garden waste at a council-service scale. The selected supplier was an SME, so the award shows that the requirement was delivered by a smaller business rather than necessarily requiring a large national operator. Suppliers considering similar work for these councils should be able to operate within the framework route and provide a reliable end-to-end service for handling and moving the waste. The contract period is not recorded, so this award does not establish when the requirement might return to market.
