## Summary

East Ayrshire Council is currently in the planning stage for a procurement process titled "Market Research - Recycling of Wood Chips." This process falls under the 'services' category, specifically focusing on refuse recycling services. The contracting authority aims to engage a service provider to purchase and recycle previously collected wood chips from the council's recycling centres located in Kilmarnock and Cumnock, both within the region of UKM93. The anticipated future notice date for this procurement is set for 20th August 2025. This opportunity is initiated under CELEX legal basis and is covered by the GPA.

This tender presents a promising business growth opportunity for companies within the recycling industry, particularly those specialising in wood chip recycling. Businesses with capabilities in innovative recycling techniques and the capacity to handle annual tonnages of approximately 3,300 tonnes of various wood grading can benefit from this contract. Regional or local service providers with a strong interest in refuse recycling services and an ability to manage logistical operations across the specified locations are well-positioned to compete for this opportunity with East Ayrshire Council.

## Notice

East Ayrshire Council owns and operates 2 household waste recycling centres, one at Western Road, Kilmarnock and one at Garlaff, Cumnock. Both recycling centres offer many disposal and recycling options for our residents within East Ayrshire. We are continually looking for new and innovative ways to capture and recycling further items. We are considering a contract with a Service Provider who will 'buy' from the council previously collected wood, which the council will chip prior to uplift, for recycling. Current annual tonnage of wood recycled is 3300 tonnes of various grading.
