The industry category involved is environmental protection, with the focal region being the UKM area, specifically Scotland. The procurement was conducted through an open procedure and entered the award stage with a planned tender period that concluded on 10th April 2026. Despite the completed procurement process, the contract was eventually marked unsuccessful in May 2026, indicating no final award was made. Key activities included waste collection and disposal across various Scottish sites, and the tender evaluation was based on quality and price with a 60/40 weightage, respectively. This procurement provided substantial opportunities for businesses in the waste management and recycling industry seeking to expand their operations into public sector contracts. Companies specialised in waste disposal, hazardous waste handling, and recycling services, particularly those located in or near Scotland, would have been a good fit to compete for this contract. Businesses capable of offering innovative waste management solutions or those experienced in meeting stringent technical criteria set forth in public contracts could leverage such tenders to foster business growth. Despite this particular tender not ending in a contract award, future similar opportunities remain viable for capable enterprises aiming for strategic growth in the public sector domain. ## Notice Forestry and Land Scotland requires a national Contract for an all-encompassing waste management service covering the collection and disposal of a wide range of waste types across its sites in Scotland.
