## Summary

Glasgow City Council is initiating a procurement process to address the services required for the Collection, Reception, Recycling, and Treatment of Bulk Waste, excluding Waste Upholstered Domestic Seating (WUDS) containing Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs). This process is currently at the planning stage and resides within the waste management services industry, specifically located in Glasgow (region UKM82). Interested parties should note that a Request for Information (RFI) is part of the preparation for this tender, which requires responses to be submitted via email by 5 pm on Friday, 10th October 2025. Further market engagement activities and final tendering details will be shared, with a planned future notice date set for 19th January 2026.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in waste management, recycling services, and associated logistical operations, particularly those with expertise in handling non-hazardous refuse and recycling. Businesses could leverage Gloucestershire County Council's initiative to elevate city recycling levels, especially firms experienced in reactive waste services able to adapt to annual fluctuations in tonnage. The proactive involvement in this procurement process, starting with the RFI, can position companies to competitively engage with a key regional authority like Glasgow City Council, potentially leading to long-term partnerships and business growth in the environmental services sector.

## Notice

The council has a requirement for the Collection, Reception, Recycling and Treatment of Bulk Waste. Options are still being reviewed on whether this contract will include Waste Upholstered Domestic Seating (WUDS) containing Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPS) or if a separate tender for this waste stream will be undertaken.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

The council has a requirement for the Collection, Reception, Recycling and Treatment of Bulk Waste. Options are still being reviewed on whether this contract will include Waste Upholstered Domestic Seating (WUDS) containing Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPS) or if a separate tender for this waste stream will be undertaken. Neighbourhoods, Regeneration and Sustainability (NRS) provide a waste management and recycling collection service to households and commercial businesses throughout the city, with the collected material taken to one of Glasgow City Council's waste transfer stations for reception, bulking and onward transport to the relevant processing outlet for that material stream. Approximately 50,000 tonnes of Bulk Waste were sent for treatment in 2024, and tonnage will fluctuate year on year as this is a reactive service, the council has no control over the volumes/tonnage. The council is committed to increasing the level of recycling in the city and this contract will contribute towards this commitment. Additional information: As part of the preparation process for this tender we are looking to gather market intelligence, this will take the form of a market engagement request for information (RFI) questionnaire. The RFI questionnaire can be found in the attachments area of this notice, completed responses are to be emailed to adam.willox@glasgow.gov.uk no later than 5pm on Friday 10th October 2025.
