## Summary

The procurement process titled "Action on Plastics - community-based pilot project delivery and evaluation" was initiated by Zero Waste Scotland Ltd, which is focused on environmental protection. The procurement is currently in the award stage. The project aims to identify contractors who can pilot strategies to decrease the use of single-use plastic items across community areas in Scotland. The initial deadline for tender submissions was 19th August 2019, and the contracts were signed on 4th November 2019. The procurement method used is an open procedure with a primary focus on service delivery.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the environmental sector, specifically those specialising in waste management, sustainability consulting, and community engagement initiatives. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with a proven track record in delivering community-based projects and environmental solutions would be well-positioned to compete, ensuring alignment with the goals of reducing plastic consumption and fostering sustainable practices within local communities across the Highlands, Islands, and Lowlands of Scotland.

## Notice

The Action on Plastics programme seeks to appoint contractors who can pilot approaches to reduce the use of single-use items, which are predominantly made of plastic. This project will look to test solutions in practice to enable Zero Waste Scotland to give clear evidence around the most sustainable and effective ways to reduce reliance on disposable items. We are looking to see what can be achieved through mobilising action in communities on specific issues based on the latest research and evidence. These actions will need to be compatible with ambitions to reduce plastic consumption and increase reuse models, not simply change to alternative single-use materials without adequate life-cycle analysis.
