## Summary

The public procurement process involves West Lothian Council acting as the buying organisation for a three-year service contract for the hire of a sweeper with a driver, under the industry category of street-cleaning and sweeping services. The procurement has utilised a limited method and operates under an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, using the Scotland Excel Vehicle and Plant Hire framework agreement. The contract, valued at £360,000, was signed on 12th November 2025. Covering the region UKM78, it is classified under the framework of the General Public Services by the Council as a regional authority. The procurement process falls under the 'award' and 'contract' stages, signifying its completion and the active status of the award.

This tender represents a significant business growth opportunity, especially for SMEs involved in street-cleaning and related services. By consolidating operations with a single supplier, West Lothian Council provides a stable, long-term contract potentially extending to five years. With key evaluation criteria weighted 35% for quality and 65% for price, businesses offering competitive pricing and high-quality service are best positioned to succeed. The contract was awarded to Wm Hamilton & Sons Limited, a regional SME based in Stonehouse, Lanarkshire, indicating an emphasis on supporting local businesses and sustaining regional economic growth.

## Notice

In the 2024/25 financial year NETS and Lands trailed a contract for a contract to outsource the collection of the sweepings including the disposal to one supplier. This trial has proved to be successful and therefore it is the intention of the Corporate Procurement Unit and NETS to award a contract on a longer-term basis for this requirement. WLC is awarding a single service contract for a period of 3 years, with two optional extension periods, of 1 year and 1 years respectively, available by mutual agreement, for the collection recycling, handling and processing of street sweepings.
