## Summary

The City of Edinburgh Council plans to procure a skip-hire and waste-management service for its schools and other premises across the council area. The service will support disposal of varied waste products both during school terms and outside term time. Suppliers will provide skips and manage their delivery, collection and exchange, then transport and arrange compliant processing of recycling and residual waste streams. This is a service contract covering refuse skips and related waste services, for council premises in Edinburgh.

This is at the planning stage: the council has stated its intention to procure, but has not yet issued an invitation to tender. The estimated contract value is £400,000. The council expects to publish a further notice on 1 December 2026; this is an indicative publication date, not a bid deadline. The planning notice is intended to establish market interest, and interested organisations may be asked to take part in engagement through written statements or Teams meetings over the following months. The procurement is described as one lot covering the council’s schools and other premises.

The work is suited to skip-hire and waste-management businesses able to serve multiple school and other council premises across Edinburgh, with flexibility to respond to requirements during and outside school terms. Suppliers should be equipped to deliver, collect and exchange skips, transport waste, and arrange compliant processing across recycling and residual waste streams. The council is seeking a service that handles a range of waste products, so relevant operational experience in managing varied waste streams and coordinating the full collection-to-processing chain will be useful. The planning engagement offers prospective suppliers a chance to indicate market interest and prepare to discuss how they could deliver the service.
