Summary of the contracting process

Angus Council is buying a service to treat and process food waste collected by the council. The waste is to be handled at the Earnside Energy anaerobic digestion facility in Glenfarg, where it can be processed through anaerobic digestion. The requirement is specifically for food waste, rather than general organic waste treatment, and forms part of the council’s waste-management activity. Angus Council is the buyer. This is a service contract for waste treatment (CPV 90500000), delivered at the Glenfarg facility. The work concerns processing the council’s collected food waste; the amount of waste to be handled depends on the quantities collected.

The procurement is complete and a contract has been awarded to energen biogas. Angus Council made a direct call-off from the Scotland Excel Treatment of Organic Waste Services Framework, Lot 1 for food waste, without publishing a separate call for competition. The contract was signed on 22 October 2026 and is due to start on 1 November 2026. Its initial term is 24 months, with an option for Angus Council to extend it by up to a further 12 months at its discretion. The awarded contract value is £315,000. Actual expenditure depends on the quantity of food waste processed and the applicable framework rates. The process records one bid; the award was made through the framework call-off.

This award indicates a continuing requirement from Angus Council for the treatment and processing of its collected food waste, using the Scotland Excel framework route. A credible competitor would need the operational capacity to receive and process council-collected food waste at an anaerobic digestion facility, together with the ability to work within framework rates and accommodate variable waste volumes. Relevant experience would include dependable waste-treatment operations and handling food waste for a local authority. Suppliers should also be positioned to serve the Glenfarg delivery location. The selected supplier, energen biogas, shows that a specialist biogas operator can meet this requirement. The contract is a defined food-waste treatment service rather than a broad waste-management package.
