## Summary

Public Services Delivery Scotland, through NHS Assure, is seeking a supplier to carry out waste composition analysis across selected NHS Scotland sites. The work covers residual waste, recycling and orange-stream clinical waste, with site-specific reporting, national reporting, data analysis, training and knowledge transfer to build NHS Scotland’s internal capability. The requirement is for services delivered across selected NHS Scotland locations, with up to ten sites potentially included. The core scope is seven sites, with the Authority able to instruct up to three additional sites. This suits organisations providing waste audits, waste sampling and composition studies, particularly those able to interpret healthcare waste streams and turn findings into practical reports, improvement advice and training for NHS staff.

The procurement has reached tender: the Authority invited suppliers to submit offers through an open procedure. There is one lot, with proposals and pricing required against the full ten-site requirement. Tenders must be submitted electronically by 16 October 2026 at 12:00 UTC, when bids are also scheduled to be opened. The evaluation and award period starts at that time. The contract is scheduled to run from 10 December 2026 to 19 March 2027. Bids must remain valid for 90 days after the submission deadline. Submissions must be in English, variants are not allowed, and electronic payment and ordering will be used. The contract is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement.

This opportunity is relevant to environmental consultancies, waste management specialists, healthcare sustainability providers and laboratories or survey teams with experience in waste composition analysis. Strong candidates will need the practical capability to assess residual, recyclable and orange-stream clinical waste safely across multiple NHS locations, produce consistent site-level and national analysis, and convert data into clear recommendations. The requirement also favours suppliers able to deliver training, education and knowledge transfer rather than only provide sampling results. A team with sufficient field capacity to coordinate work across up to ten sites, robust analytical and reporting systems, and experience working in healthcare or other regulated operational environments would be well placed. Suppliers should also be prepared for subcontracting provisions and community-benefit commitments.
