Heriot-Watt University, located in Riccarton, Edinburgh, under the postal code EH14 4AS, acted as the buying organisation. The contract, awarded to Enva Scotland Limited, encompasses the collection, recycling, and disposal services for non-hazardous wastes at the University’s Edinburgh Campus. Classified under the main procurement category “services” and industry “education,” the procurement demonstrates a strategic approach without prior publication of a call for competition, justified due to a call-off from Framework EFM1055 AP, Lot A - General Waste.
