The Council is seeking to gauge market interest and assess viable procurement routes for recycling approximately 700 tonnes of cardboard collected between April 2025 and March 2026. This planned procurement, identified by the OCDS ID "ocds-r6ebe6-0000834105," anticipates a future working relationship with potential service providers as detailed by a Prior Information Notice (PIN). Interested parties should note the option to indicate preferences for site delivery or collection at the tendering phase. The procurement category is services, with an estimated value of £100,000, and it’s governed by the General Procurement Agreement (GPA). Interested participants should register their interest by 21st June 2026, with further notices expected on 1st August 2026. This tender presents a promising avenue for businesses involved in waste management and recycling services to expand their operations by partnering with a large municipal client. Companies capable of handling or facilitating the collection and processing of cardboard waste, particularly those with experience in municipal contracts, could find this opportunity an ideal fit. Engaging in this tender process allows businesses to influence and potentially customise the service arrangement according to their operational strengths, whether it involves managing logistics for collecting cardboard or accepting deliveries to their own processing sites. Given the planned value of £100,000 and the strategic need for effective recycling solutions, this is a substantial opportunity for businesses aiming to establish or enhance their presence in the public sector environmental services market. ## Notice The City of Edinburgh Council (the Council) is looking to assess market interest in the Cardboard waste recycling collected at our Household Waste and Recycling Centres (HWRC).
