Circular Economy Support Framework

Reference Number : 19-CE-119-OJ

Zero Waste Scotland wishes to appoint a contractor/s for the provision of technical, specialist and general business support functions to support the delivery of the circular economy business support service. This will be through a multi-lot, multiple supplier framework agreement.

Main Site : Support may be provided at locations across Scotland, including the Highlands and Islands, dependent upon the location of the support recipient.

The technical services provided will primarily support the circular economy activator workstream by helping ensure that supported SMEs have access to specialist sectoral and/or market knowledge to help with proof of concept and market validation that enables a more robust and demonstrable understanding of their anticipated market. This may include demand, barriers to entry, regulatory and permitting requirements, and the optimum route to market.

It may also be required, from time to time, to provide more specialist support to SMEs within both the circular economy primer and the circular economy implementation support workstreams where this provide more effective and efficient delivery of the requirements.

It is essential that the services are delivered in such a way that incorporates and develops outputs from previous stages of support or liaises with other agencies where support elements have or are being delivered in tandem.

Zero Waste Scotland anticipates appointing up to 3 suppliers (the "Framework Contractor(s)") to this lot, subject to the number of eligible tender submissions received.

III.1.1) of the notice is not applicable to this procurement exercise.

Bidders should note that Zero Waste Scotland will carry out due diligence checking on statements made within ESPD (Scotland) responses.
