## Summary

Aberdeen City Council is leading the procurement process for the "Provision of an Energy from Waste Facility," aimed at managing residual municipal waste in the Aberdeen City area. This initiative falls under the services category and is currently in the Award stage. The contract's value amounts to approximately £364,920,000, with a contract period extending up to 22 years following the construction phase. Tenderers are expected to operate the facility designed at East Tullos Industrial Estate, Aberdeen, with planning permission already granted. Notably, the procurement method selected for this initiative was a competitive dialogue, reflecting the complexity of the project.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in waste management, engineering, and construction, particularly those experienced in energy recovery technologies. Companies capable of delivering comprehensive waste treatment services, alongside those who can demonstrate community benefits such as employment training or environmental sustainability initiatives, are well positioned to compete. Given the substantial financial commitment involved, large-scale suppliers with proven track records in similar projects are particularly encouraged to engage in the tender process.

## Notice

Aberdeen City Council, Aberdeenshire Council and Moray Council (together hereinafter referred to as the "Partner Councils") have procured residual waste management services to receive and treat residual municipal waste, managed on behalf of the Partner Councils. The Partner Councils are funding the capital investment required.
