## Summary

Aberdeen City Council procured financial advisory services for the Ness Energy from Waste (EfW) operations and maintenance procurement. The work supported the procurement of an operator for the Ness EfW facility, with delivery in Aberdeen. The requirement was one lot covering financial advice for the O&M procurement. Aberdeen City Council is the named buyer; Aberdeenshire Council and Moray Council are also listed as buyers in the process.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to PwC. It was run as an open competition among suppliers on the Management Consultancy Framework Four, finance lot, under the framework’s call-off terms. The award data does not state an award date or an award value; the active contract is valued at £215,000 excluding VAT and was signed on 1 May 2026. No contract period is stated. The procurement was a single lot, and the recorded bid statistics show one bid received. The contract value is described as an estimate based on the assumed requirement and may vary with actual demand.

This award shows demand for financial advice to support procurement of operations and maintenance for a municipal energy-from-waste facility. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need strong financial advisory capability and experience supporting complex public-sector procurement, particularly in energy or waste infrastructure and long-term O&M contracting. The route used was a finance lot within a management consultancy framework, so suppliers would also need access to the relevant framework or a comparable route into competition. The recorded competition attracted one bid, indicating that framework eligibility and relevant specialist expertise may shape the field. The requirement is focused on financial advice for procuring an EfW operator, rather than general corporate finance or unrelated energy services.
