## Summary

Edinburgh Napier University has completed the procurement process for a project titled "ENU Ditch Disposables - Reusable Cups and Containers Scheme." The initiative falls under the goods industry category with a CPV classification for Cups and Food Containers. This scheme aims to provide a returnable cup and container service to reduce single-use disposables across the University's three campuses in Edinburgh. The project follows an open procurement method as a part of the open procedure framework. The initial 12-month trial will be conducted at the Sighthill Campus, followed by potential expansion in subsequent years based on success. The most recent award was made to Cauli Ltd, confirmed on 29th April 2026, for an active contract valued at GBP 145,740.

This contract presents a significant opportunity for suppliers in the sustainable goods sector, particularly those specialising in returnable packaging solutions and associated services. Businesses capable of providing high-quality goods along with robust technology and return service infrastructure stand to benefit significantly. With quality being a primary evaluation criterion at 70%, innovative and sustainable product offerings will be advantageous. This tender appeals broadly to SMEs, given that Cauli Ltd, the successful bidder, falls within this category. The awarded nature of the contract also suggests potential for additional engagements through future renewals, thus fostering longer-term growth opportunities for businesses operating in eco-friendly packaging and supply chains.
