## Summary

The City of Edinburgh Council has awarded a contract to Forth Resource Management Ltd for the receipt, treatment, and composting of garden waste. This procurement falls under the industry category of composting services, with an official contract status of "complete." Utilising a limited procurement method without prior publication of a call for competition, the contract was solidified on 2nd July 2025, following the Council's Finance and Resources Committee meeting on 24th June 2025. The contract is valued at approximately £6,049,915 GBP with delivery focused within the region of UKM75, Edinburgh. The procurement was made on a direct award basis as a call-off from an existing Scotland Excel Framework, allowing for up to five years of extension options at the Council's discretion, although the initial proposal utilises a five-year term.

This tender represents a substantial opportunity for SMEs and businesses specialised in waste management and environmental services, particularly those with the capability to fulfil contracts associated with local governmental frameworks. The awarded contract supports operational certainty in service delivery and pricing through its whole life cost assessment model, encouraging sustained business growth in environmental operations. Given the nature of the direct award method, entities involved in current frameworks or those seeking partnership opportunities with similar frameworks may find particular advantage here. Edinburgh's regional focus promotes engagement with businesses proficient in managing community-based public service contracts, ensuring compliance with regional regulations and environmental standards.
