## Summary

Zero Waste Scotland Ltd is seeking consultancy support through an open tender titled "Consultancy Support - Waste Reduction Opportunities for Business Groups". This initiative aims to assist three Business Improvement Districts (BIDs), Traders’ Associations, or local business groups in Scotland to reduce waste and related costs, thereby enhancing the visual appeal of their areas. The procurement stage is active, with an end date for submissions on 4th September 2017. The contract value is set at £75,000, and the work will take place at various locations across Scotland, focusing on the environmental protection sector.

This procurement presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in environmental consultancy, waste management services, and sustainability solutions. Companies that are experienced in working with SMEs to improve waste management practices will be particularly well-placed to compete for this contract. The successful bidder will play a critical role in implementing efficient waste reduction strategies that not only benefit the local business community but also align with broader environmental goals, thereby enhancing their reputation and market positioning.

## Notice

Zero Waste Scotland would like to provide consultancy support to three Business Improvement Districts (BIDs), Traders' Associations or local business groups in Scotland to make waste and cost savings for small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) in these groups, as well as visually improving the street scene due to less commercial waste being located in public areas and reducing the impact of transportation as less waste collection vehicles visit the area. Supported initiatives will prevent waste at source, improve waste management practices and cut costs and carbon emissions.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

The aim of this work is to support up to a maximum of three Groups to prevent waste at source or to improve waste management, which will in turn result in a move up the waste hierarchy through the adoption of new technologies, processes and / or initiatives. Support provided to these Groups will include a review of current waste management practices, auditing the businesses to determine waste arising and identify opportunities for improvements. An implementation phase will then result, which should lead to quantifiable savings for the SMEs within each group, and to the development of examples for communicating good practice to other groups of SMEs. A project report summarising the support provided to each Group, the outputs and savings achieved, and any lessons learned will be required. A step-by-step guide suitable for supporting other Groups of SMES to achieve similar outputs and outcomes will also be developed. All support, including preparation of final documents, must be completed and agreed with Zero Waste Scotland by no later than 16 March 2018.. Economic operators may be excluded from this competition if they are in any of the situations referred to in regulation 58 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015
