## Summary

Aberdeen City Council has completed the procurement process for the "Disposal of Residual Waste" contract, which falls under the services category of refuse and waste-related services. The contract was undertaken using a limited procurement method due to extreme urgency, prompted by unforeseen events affecting waste disposal at the NESS Energy from Waste Facility. This process has been classified under the CPV code 90500000 and encompasses services in Stoneyhill Landfill, Aberdeen. The award was made without prior publication of a call for competition, with the contract signed on 27 June 2025. The supplier, SUEZ Recycling & Recovery UK Ltd, was awarded a contract valued at £5,700,000.

This procurement process presents notable business growth opportunities, particularly for large companies capable of rapidly addressing emergent needs due to unforeseen circumstances within the waste management sector. Companies similar to SUEZ Recycling & Recovery UK Ltd, with established capacity and resources in waste transportation and disposal services, would be well-suited to compete for such contracts. The procurement method, prioritising negotiation due to urgency, favours enterprises that can deliver quality solutions under strict time constraints, thereby fostering sector-specific expertise and market competitiveness.
