## Summary

Aberdeenshire Council has recently concluded the procurement process for hawking pest control services at Banchory and Ellon Waste Transfer Stations, located in Aberdeen, region UKM50. The procurement, which falls under the environmental protection industry category, was initiated through an open procedure and is categorised as a service contract. This tender sought quotations for bird control utilising a hawk, to be performed twice weekly from March to October over a two-year period. The procurement process transitioned from the tender stage to the award stage, with the contracts being signed on 10th February 2026. The tender (ID: CRN00041499) included two lots, one for each waste transfer station, and was notably aimed at improving environmental and community amenities services within the region. 

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the pest control industry, particularly those with expertise in innovative environmental solutions such as bird control using hawks. Small to medium enterprises (SMEs) and local companies like LPPC Environmental, which successfully secured the contract, are well-suited for these opportunities, especially if they have a strategic focus on environmental protection within public services. The contract encourages the involvement of businesses that can deliver consistent service quality over a substantial period, thus offering growth potential through long-term engagement and community interaction. The procurement also features community benefits, emphasising the social value of business contributions. Businesses should consider leveraging similar opportunities to expand their expertise within regional or local authority contracts, enhancing their market presence and reputation in environmentally focused public service projects.
