## Summary

North Ayrshire Council has completed a procurement process for the treatment of post-consumer mixed plastics, beverage cartons, cans, and glass containers. The contract, facilitated through the Scotland Excel Dynamic Purchasing System, specifically covers services under Lot 1 for the Treatment and Disposal of Recyclable and Residual Waste. Based in Irvine, North Ayrshire, the council operates in the regional or local authority sector under the General Public Services industry category. The tender was conducted using an open procedure, allowing broad participation and transparency. The award was granted to Diverse Investments Scotland Ltd t/a Newtown Waste Solutions, and the contract became active on 3rd December 2025. This initial 12-month contract, with potential extensions up to three additional years, promises significant contributions to the council's income, estimated at 105,631 GBP annually depending on market conditions.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in recycling and waste management. SMEs, in particular, can find growth opportunities through such contracts by providing innovative, sustainable solutions tailored to local government needs. Competitive businesses are those nimble enough to manage varying recyclate market values and capable of addressing potential contamination challenges. As the contract also includes possibilities for subcontracting, businesses that can offer specialised services might also find opportunities by joining larger consortia. By participating in future opportunities under similar procurement frameworks, businesses can strengthen their market presence and enhance their growth trajectory in the environmental services sector.
