This is a large award for Environment & Waste — above three-quarters of comparable contracts. Based on 11,894 valued Environment & Waste tenders in our corpus.

When this comes round again

Scotland Excel has published 6 Environment & Waste notices, about every 6 months. On that rhythm the next one is expected around February 2027.

81% of Scotland Excel’s awards go to a supplier it has used before.

Which is the argument for getting on the list rather than winning this one. The incumbent is rarely the last winner — it is the roster. See the retention odds by category →
