The project falls under the services category and is specifically geared towards waste management. This procurement process is active in the UKM82 region, namely Glasgow, and plays a significant role in the city's commitment to recycling initiatives. Interested parties are invited to submit completed Request for Information (RFI) questionnaires by 17:00 on 10th October 2025, as the council seeks market intelligence ahead of a potential tender announcement by 19th January 2026. The contracting authority is working under legal frameworks by the CELEX directive 32014L0024. The tender provides a considerable opportunity for businesses specialising in waste management and recycling services to establish or strengthen their presence in the region. Firms with capabilities in bulk waste processing and recycling infrastructure will be particularly well-suited to compete when the tender progresses to the active bidding stage. This process presents a prospect for organisations to collaborate with a significant local authority, contribute to sustainability goals, and potentially secure a long-term contract, thereby driving business growth and regional development. With an emphasis on enhancing the city's recycling rates, this initiative represents a strategic opportunity for businesses to expand their operations within the public sector framework in Scotland. ## Notice The council has a requirement for the Collection, Reception, Recycling and Treatment of Bulk Waste. Options are still being reviewed on whether this contract will include Waste Upholstered Domestic Seating (WUDS) containing Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPS) or if a separate tender for this waste stream will be undertaken. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The council has a requirement for the Collection, Reception, Recycling and Treatment of Bulk Waste. Options are still being reviewed on whether this contract will include Waste Upholstered Domestic Seating (WUDS) containing Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPS) or if a separate tender for this waste stream will be undertaken. Neighbourhoods, Regeneration and Sustainability (NRS) provide a waste management and recycling collection service to households and commercial businesses throughout the city, with the collected material taken to one of Glasgow City Council's waste transfer stations for reception, bulking and onward transport to the relevant processing outlet for that material stream. Approximately 50,000 tonnes of Bulk Waste were sent for treatment in 2024, and tonnage will fluctuate year on year as this is a reactive service, the council has no control over the volumes/tonnage. The council is committed to increasing the level of recycling in the city and this contract will contribute towards this commitment.. As part of the preparation process for this tender we are looking to gather market intelligence, this will take the form of a market engagement request for information (RFI) questionnaire. The RFI questionnaire can be found in the attachments area of this notice, completed responses are to be emailed to adam.willox@glasgow.gov.uk no later than 5pm on Friday 10th October 2025. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=SEP540262 | | Notice type | OJEU - F1 - Prior Information Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 30 Sep 2025 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 19 Jan 2026 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Planned | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | GLASGOW CITY COUNCIL | | Locality | GLASGOW | | Post town | Glasgow | | Postcode | G2 1DU | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM3 West Central Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM32 Glasgow City | | Local authority | Glasgow City | | Electoral ward | Anderston/City/Yorkhill | | Westminster constituency | Glasgow North East | | Delivery location | TLM82 Glasgow City | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work - 90 - Sewage, refuse, cleaning and environmental services ### Codes - 45232470 - Waste transfer station - 90500000 - Refuse and waste related services - 90513000 - Non-hazardous refuse and waste treatment and disposal services - 90514000 - Refuse recycling services ## Release History - 30 Sep 2025 at 00:00 - Planning - OJEU - F1 - Prior Information Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=SEP540262 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=SEP540262&idx=1 30th September 2025 - Request for Information Questionnaire - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=SEP540262 Request for Information - Bulk Waste (Not inclusive of WUDS) - The council has a requirement for the Collection, Reception, Recycling and Treatment of Bulk Waste.
