This initiative focuses on general public services within the services industry category. Interested businesses should note the future notice date set for 20th August 2025, as the council explores innovative recycling solutions. The procurement is a tender process with the objective of engaging a service provider to purchase and recycle wood chips previously collected by the council from its two household waste recycling centres in Kilmarnock and Cumnock, with an annual recycled tonnage of approximately 3,300 tonnes. This opportunity is ideal for businesses in waste management and recycling services, providing a pathway for growth by partnering with a regional authority.

The tender offers a chance to collaborate with East Ayrshire Council, facilitating the development of sustainable practices and resource management within the local area, enhancing their visibility and credibility in the public sector. Businesses interested should prepare to participate by the specified date, ensuring they are well-positioned to seize this opportunity. ## Notice East Ayrshire Council owns and operates 2 household waste recycling centres, one at Western Road, Kilmarnock and one at Garlaff, Cumnock.
