## Summary

North Lanarkshire Council purchased 30 heavy-duty open skips, each with a capacity of 35 cubic yards, for its six Household Waste Recycling Centres. The skips collect waste in separate streams, including general refuse, paper and cardboard, and wood. These containers support the centres’ operation and capacity, allowing residents to dispose of and recycle waste unsuitable for kerbside collection or the council’s bulky-waste uplift service. The requirement is for physical waste-disposal equipment, rather than waste collection or site-operation services. Delivery is for the council’s Household Waste Recycling Centre network in North Lanarkshire. The purchase was made through the Scotland Excel Waste Disposal Equipment framework, covering skips and containers.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. North Lanarkshire Council selected Skip Units Ltd for the single lot, covering all 30 skips. The contract value is £222,600. It was signed on 21 October 2026. The council used an open procedure through the Scotland Excel Waste Disposal Equipment framework, Lot 1 for skips and containers. One bid was received for this lot, from an SME. The award relates to purchase of the specified heavy-duty 35-cubic-yard skips. The contract period is not stated in the available process details.

For suppliers of commercial waste containers, this award demonstrates demand from North Lanarkshire Council for a sizeable batch of large, heavy-duty skips to support multiple recycling centres. A credible competitor would need to supply containers suitable for sustained use at household waste sites and for separating waste streams such as general refuse, paper and cardboard, and wood. The requirement is specifically for open skips with a 35-cubic-yard capacity, so suppliers whose range does not include this size or heavy-duty specification are less closely aligned. The purchase was made through a Scotland Excel framework for waste-disposal equipment, making framework access and the ability to fulfil a multi-unit order relevant to competing for this buyer’s requirement when it returns to market.

## Notice

North Lanarkshire Council operates six Household Waste Recycling Centres (HWRC) throughout its geographic region that allows residents to dispose and recycle their waste that is not suitable for collection via the councils kerbside collections services or not willing to utilise the councils special uplift / bulky waste service.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

To enable operation of the HWRC sites, the council require multiple large container type skips to collect waste in designated streams e.g. general refuse, paper / cardboard, wood, etc. This is a key aspect of HWRC operations as it enables maximum operation and capacity objectives for each site. The council now requires to purchase an additional 30 (thirty) 35 cubic yard skips that are specified to be of heavy-duty specification to enable continued operations at HWRC sites.
