## Summary

East Renfrewshire Council issued a voluntary ex ante transparency notice (VEAT) on 27 November 2018, announcing its intention to contract Lowmac Alloys for the Waste Management services at the Greenhags Transfer Station and Household Waste and Recycling Centre (HWRC). The anticipated contract is valued at approximately £870,000 for an 8-month period, commencing on 1 April 2019 and concluding on 30 November 2019. This procurement falls under the limited method without prior publication of a call for competition, due to technical justifications regarding the continuation of existing service delivery amidst a 25-year contract scheduled to commence on 1 December 2019.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specializing in waste management and recycling services. Companies with experience in operational management at waste transfer stations, particularly those familiar with local authority contracts, will be well-positioned to compete. The anticipated continuity in waste operations highlights the importance of seamless service delivery and may encourage other suppliers to consider partnerships or collaborate for greater efficiency within this sector.

### Procurement Information

There is technical justification in this service being provided by a particular operator for the following reasons: East Renfrewshire Council has a 25 year contract in place to run this service from 01 December 2019. During the interim period between 01 April and 01 December the Council is contracted to provide commissioning tonnage as part of this contract. The highest priority for the Council is existing service delivery, therefore until the commencement of the new 25 year contract to avoid a disproportionate impact on current waste operations it is necessary that existing arrangements relating to service provision continue.
