## Summary

East Ayrshire Council has completed the procurement process for the "Recycling of Aluminium & Steel Cans" services within the general public services industry category. The award follows an open procedure, initiated on 13 November 2024, with key deadlines including an expression of interest deadline on 13 December 2024 and a tender submission deadline on 20 December 2024, revised due to technical issues. The contracts, valued at £500,000 each, were signed on 18 March 2025. This procurement involves recycling previously collected aluminium and steel cans, with activities centred in the region of East Ayrshire.

The contracts present significant business growth potential, particularly for SMEs specializing in waste management and recycling services. The procurement is well-suited for businesses capable of effectively managing recycling services and offering competitive pricing, as the evaluation criteria weighted methodology/ability to deliver at 20% and price at 70%. This opportunity aligns particularly well for regional or local authorities and SMEs already operating within or looking to expand into the recycling sector in the UK, offering a stable revenue stream and potential for long-term partnership through options for contract extensions.
