## Summary

Edinburgh Napier University conducted a procurement process titled "ENU Ditch Disposables - Reusable Cups and Containers Scheme," aiming at reducing single-use disposable packaging across its campuses in Edinburgh. This tender was an open procedure focusing on goods, specifically under the education category. The key locations for the service implementation include Sighthill Campus, Merchiston Campus, and Craiglockhart Campus. The award was finalised, and the related contract was signed on 29th April 2026, with Cauli Ltd being the selected supplier. The procurement involved multiple stages, beginning with a tender notice issued on 17th November 2025, with an award date starting on 17th December 2025. The contract was initially trialed for one year, with extensions contingent upon the trial's success.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in reusable containers and return systems. It is particularly suited for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like Cauli Ltd, which can efficiently provide the necessary goods and services such as return infrastructure and monitoring services. The project, which offers an initial three-year contract with potential extensions, allows businesses to showcase innovative solutions in sustainability and enhance their standing in public sector collaborations. Businesses that can meet the technological and logistical requirements of delivering sustainable solutions will find this opportunity beneficial for expanding their market footprint within the public sector.
