UK Public Sector Contracts & Tenders

The Authority (formally Global Renewables Lancashire Operations Ltd) was established for the operation and management of two central waste treatment facilities. The Authority's key objectives are to receive, treat and transport contract waste in accordance with the targets and service requirements set out in the Service Level Agreement between the company and its majority shareholder, Lancashire County Council. The Authority is seeking Tenders for the supply of biofiltration woodchip media as detailed in the draft Contract at Appendix 1 to this ITT and the associated tender documentation. The Goods are an integral part of the waste processing activities at the Authority Thornton and Farrington site where the Biofilters are located. The Thornton site delivery address is FY7 8RY and Leyland site delivery address is PR26 6TB. Following award of the framework, the Authority intends to place ad hoc orders. The supplier must deliver the Goods to either Thornton or Leyland site as requested. Tenderers should note that the quality and consistency of the Goods is critical to the Authority.

Lancashire Renewables Ltd (LRL) is a company owned wholly by Lancashire County Council and Blackpool Council. LRL operates two waste treatment facilities in Leyland and Thornton. Each site is approximately 40 acres and contains numerous buildings responsible for the receival and processing of household and residual waste. Waste is either transported into the offtake market for further processing / recycling or to landfill when necessary. An Anaerobic Digestion process is due to restart later in 2026. As an integral part of LRL's operational activities, a fleet of plant equipment is used to move waste around the sites, load into HGV trailers, feed into hoppers, trommels, shredders, move skips and bales, etc. The plant equipment is operated by LRL's in-house team of operators, due to their innate knowledge of the site and its access restrictions. The intention is that the framework will be split into three Lots. Lot 1 will feature mobile plant excluding material handlers (i.e. wheeled front-end loaders, teletrucks, telehandlers, and forklift trucks), and Lot 2 will feature material handlers (electric and diesel machines). Lot 3 will feature provision for shredders. The principle place of performance for this Framework is Lancashire, where LRL are based, however the service may be provided throughout the UK based on call off contracts created by those organisations listed under the section 'Contracting authorities that may use the framework'.
