## Summary

Aberdeen City Council has completed a procurement process for the provision of emergency operation and maintenance services at the Energy from Waste Facility located in Aberdeen City, UK. This procurement falls under the refuse and waste-related services category within the services sector. Owing to the unforeseen termination of the previous contractor's agreement in December 2025, a limited procurement method was employed due to extreme urgency. The awarded contract, valued at £18,000,000, was signed on 26th January 2026, with key responsibilities including the day-to-day operation and maintenance of the facility. SUEZ Recycling & Recovery UK has been awarded the active contract, ensuring continuity until a long-term solution is secured.

This tender presents promising growth opportunities for businesses specialising in waste management, engineering services, and facility operation. Large organisations, particularly those with expertise in refuse incineration, maintenance services, and waste handling, would be well-suited to compete for similar future contracts. The procurement landscape in Aberdeen and similar regions encourages firms with experience in managing energy infrastructure to explore competitive opportunities. Despite the limited procurement due to urgency, businesses can anticipate potential expansions, including optional contract extensions and an upcoming tender for a long-term operational contract offering sustained growth prospects.
