## Summary

Glasgow City Council procured bulk waste management services for its Neighbourhoods, Regeneration and Sustainability service. The requirement covers collecting bulk waste from council locations across Glasgow, receiving material delivered by the council, and processing it to maximise reuse, recycling and treatment or diversion from landfill. The supplier must handle different bulk waste material streams, including Waste Upholstered Domestic Seating in accordance with SEPA guidance. Material is collected from households and commercial businesses through the council’s waste service, taken to council waste transfer stations for reception, bulking and onward transport, and then sent to suitable processing outlets. This is a waste collection, recycling and treatment service rather than a supply of goods or construction works.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through an open procedure. One lot covered the full requirement, with Glasgow City Council reserving the right to source additional requirements or tonnages from the awarded suppliers. Three bids were received, including two from SMEs, and all bids were submitted electronically. DOW GROUP LTD and J & M MURDOCH & SON LTD were selected for the lot. The contract was signed on 14 August 2026 and is active. Its value is £44,000,000. The sourcing strategy allowed either two suppliers to share the requirement or one supplier to provide the whole service, depending on which arrangement was evaluated as economically most advantageous. The award was made under Scotland Excel’s DPS for treatment and disposal of recyclable and residual waste.

This award indicates demand from Glasgow City Council for specialist operators able to manage bulk waste from council services at substantial operational scale. Credible competitors would need collection capability, suitable reception and transfer arrangements, and reliable onward processing outlets for multiple material streams. Experience in reuse, recycling, treatment and diversion from landfill would be directly relevant, as would the ability to manage variable quantities requested by the council. Suppliers should also be able to process Waste Upholstered Domestic Seating in line with SEPA guidance and demonstrate robust environmental compliance. The award of two SMEs shows that smaller specialist businesses can compete, potentially through a partnership or shared delivery model. The relevant route is the Scotland Excel DPS for recyclable and residual waste treatment and disposal.

## Notice

The contract is for the collection, reception, recycling, and treatment/ diversion of bulk waste.
