## Summary

Dumfries and Galloway Council is currently seeking tenders for the management of various Kerbside & Recycling Centre waste streams across Dumfries and Galloway. This procurement process is open, with the contract divided into numerous lots centred around refuse and waste related services. Primary areas encompass Annan, Stranraer, Dumfries, Castle Douglas, and other locations within the region. The council aims to appoint providers capable of waste reception, treatment, and disposal services, grouping requirements into seven distinct waste streams distributed over twenty lots. The procurement is at the active stage, with the tender process expected to conclude with bid openings on the 2nd July 2025. The initial contract term is three years, with an optional 12-month extension period.

The procurement project offers substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in waste management and recycling services. Companies proficient in handling different refuse categories, such as paper fibre, metal, plastics, and oils, would be well-suited to compete in this tender. The opportunity is particularly beneficial for service providers with necessary permits or licenses for waste treatment and transportation as required by regional environmental regulations. With a procurement method based on an open procedure, there is a potential for businesses to secure multiple lots, encouraging scalability and business growth, provided they meet the terms outlined in the tender's suitability criteria.
