- Suitability
Please refer to the mandatory requirements within the ITT.
Economic operators may be excluded from this competition if they are in breach of any of the situations referred to in regulation 58 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015.
Note Waste to be disposed of across the waste bundles may include items containing persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and these will need to be processed in line with relevant legislation.
Contractors will need to have SEPA (or equivalent) licencing for the sites/facilities to which waste material will be sent and meet minimum standards to be defined in the ITT. Contractors will also require the appropriate waste carrier licences/permits. Copies will be requested as part of the tender process. Contractors will be required to provide accurate waste data for all waste bundles and upload this data into our waste data portal
- Price carries 40 points on every lot: a 10% discount moves about 4 points.
- “Recyclates and General Waste Management” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.

- Review procedure
Precise information on deadline(s) for review procedures:
Economic operators should approach the contracting authority in the first instance. However, the only formal remedy is to apply to the courts:
An economic operator that suffers, or is at risk of suffering, loss or damage attributable to a breach of duty under the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 or the Procurement Reform (Scotland) Act 2014, may bring proceedings in the Sheriff Court or the Court of Session.
The bringing of court proceedings against the Authority after the Framework Agreement has be entered into will not affect the Framework Agreement unless grounds for the imposition of special penalties under the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 can be established. Otherwise the remedies that may be awarded by the courts where the Framework Agreement has been entered into are limited to the award of damages.
