Located in Edinburgh, the contract falls under the services category related to research and development and consultancy services. This procurement was executed directly, awarding the contract without competition to The Lines Between Ltd., based in Edinburgh, for a total value of £15,529.50. The tender aims to address environmental impacts associated with waste management, focusing on data gathering and feasibility studies regarding landfill alternatives, extending bans on specific waste types, and examining potential barriers to waste diversion from landfills. This tender presents substantial growth opportunities for businesses involved in environmental consultancy and research services, particularly those specialising in waste management and sustainability practices. Given the focus on reducing landfill use and advancing waste management strategies, companies offering innovative solutions and expertise in biodegradable and non-biodegradable waste treatment are well-suited to support such initiatives. Moreover, organisations like The Lines Between Ltd., which have successfully secured this contract, illustrate the potential for businesses to engage in pivotal projects that influence environmental policy and practice in Scotland, paving the way for future industry collaborations and developments. ## Notice This Call for Evidence (CfE) seeks to support consideration of extending the landfill ban to include non-municipal biodegradable wastes by:- filling information gaps on the types of waste that could fall under an extended ban, as well as their characteristics and environmental impacts;- filling information gaps on the feasibility of alternative (non-landfill) treatment options for wastes that could fall under an extended ban;- supporting consideration of any barriers to diverting wastes from landfill;- To understand if there are wastes for which landfill remains the best option and- considering other policies, their timings and interactions with an extended ban that could support the diversion of waste from landfill.In addition, this CfE uses the opportunity to gather evidence on other wastes, including those that are non-biodegradable, that could be banned from landfill to move the management of these wastes further up the waste hierarchy and to reduce the environmental impact of their disposal. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=MAR552015 | | Notice type | PCS Notice - Quick Quote Award | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Direct | | Procurement method details | The contract is awarded to a single supplier without competition. | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 19 Mar 2026 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 19 Mar 2026 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £15,529 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Not specified | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | SCOTTISH GOVERNMENT | | Additional buyers | ABERDEEN CITY COUNCIL; EDINBURGH COLLEGE; NHS FIFE; NHS HIGHLAND; PERTH & KINROSS COUNCIL; SOUTH AYRSHIRE COUNCIL | | Locality | GLASGOW | | Post town | Glasgow | | Postcode | G2 8LU | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM1 East Central Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM13 City of Edinburgh | | Local authority | City of Edinburgh | | Electoral ward | Sighthill/Gorgie | | Westminster constituency | Edinburgh South West | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 22 | | Supplier names | ACTIONABLE INSIGHT DIGITAL MARKETING; AIR QUALITY CONSULTANTS; BINN GROUP; COLLEGE KITS DIRECT; E A ELLISONS; HARVEY NASH; KORERO STUDIO; LEIDOS INNOVATIONS; MARYANNE JOHNSTON; PERTEMPS MEDICAL; RAY BLACK CONSULTING; RENAISSANCE; RS AQUA; SALONWEAR DIRECT; SKIP UNITS; SYNAPTIK; THE LINES BETWEEN; THE SME CLINIC; THINK HARD; VENESKY-BROWN RECRUITMENT; WILL RUDD DAVIDSON (EDINBURGH; WOODSONS OF ABERDEEN | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ## Release History - 19 Mar 2026 at 07:03 - Award - PCS Notice - Quick Quote Award - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=MAR552015 ## Notice URLs - http://www.aberdeencity.gov.uk - http://www.edinburghcollege.ac.uk/ - http://www.nhsfife.org - http://www.nhshighland.scot.nhs.uk - http://www.pkc.gov.uk/article/15478/Tenders-and-contracts - http://www.scotland.gov.uk - http://www.south-ayrshire.gov.uk/procurement/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
