The procurement process, which falls under the category of general public services, is in the tender stage, set to conclude on 28 April 2026. The council intends to utilise an open procedure and is looking for revenue from the equipment collected rather than assuming any costs. The secure IT disposal project aims not only to manage existing equipment responsibly but also to contribute to the council's revenue stream from the collected items. This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in IT asset disposal and recycling services. Companies with experience in collecting and securely managing IT waste will find this project aligned with their service offerings. To compete successfully, businesses must hold relevant certifications such as BSIA, NAID memberships, and ISO 27001 accreditation for information security management. They should also possess adequate insurance and demonstrate previous relevant experience. This project is particularly advantageous for firms ready to engage with community-centric initiatives, aligning their operations with North Ayrshire Council's focus on socio-economic and environmental outcomes through voluntary community benefits embedded within their procurement activities. ## Notice North Ayrshire Council ("NAC") invites tenders for the auditable secure collection and disposal of ICT equipment from various NAC offices and schools throughout North Ayrshire, including the Isle of Arran and Isle of Cumbrae. NAC do not expect to pay for this service. NAC requires revenue / income from the equipment collected. ### Lot Information Lot 1 This procurement will follow the open tender process.
