## Summary

West Lothian Council, a regional authority based in Livingston, United Kingdom, has completed a procurement process for the purchase of eight ejection trailers, aimed at waste transportation. This procurement, classified under the goods category with a CPV code of 34223300 (Trailers), followed a limited procurement method without prior publication of a competition call, under the Scotland Excel 0321 Heavy Vehicles Framework Agreement. The award of the contract, valued at £635,000, was made to BMI Trailers Ltd, and the contract was signed on 30th June 2026. The procurement process did not fall within the usual scope of application of the directive, as noted by the rationale provided.

This tender presents a significant business opportunity for SMEs, particularly those within the manufacturing and supply sectors of specialised heavy vehicles and trailers. Given the closed procurement process, engaging in similar frameworks such as the Scotland Excel can provide future opportunities for businesses to participate in direct awards. Companies with the capability to offer high-quality trailers and established local delivery channels, especially those based in or near the UK, will find themselves well-positioned to compete in such procurements. The procurement emphasised a strong preference for quality and price, offering competitive edges to businesses that can balance these factors effectively.
