## Summary

The Scottish Borders Council, based in Newtown St Boswells, is progressing with the "Treatment of Garden Waste" contract, aiming to enhance waste management services across the region. This procurement, categorised under general public services and services industry, focuses on garden waste collection and composting, with key operations centred in UKM91. The process reached the contract award stage on 25th April 2025, following an open procurement method. The contract, valued at £147,000, was officially signed on 22nd April 2025. The council sought competitive bids under the Organic Waste Framework Agreement, selecting Forth Resource Management to deliver the required services.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses involved in waste management and recycling services, particularly those specialising in organic waste treatment and composting. Given the open procedure used, businesses of varying scales, including SMEs, had the opportunity to partake, highlighting the inclusivity of the procurement strategy. Forth Resource Management, an SME located in North Berwick and awarded this contract, showcases how smaller enterprises can effectively compete and enhance their portfolio through public sector engagements. Companies with expertise in waste treatment technologies and sustainable practices will find similar opportunities to expand into regional public service projects.
