LRL (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 currently employs approximately 180 staff across its two sites in several different role categories including operational, supervisory, professional, and administrative. The total number of staff employed by LRL is expected to increase to 250 by 2025 as the sites take on additional waste processing. The Authority requires agency workers to complement the existing workforce on project work as well as fill short-term vacancies at any given time. In addition, the Authority requires assistance with permanent recruitment from time to time. Both agency and permanent staff may be needed across all role categories and levels, from lower grades to senior management. For the most part, agency workers cover the operational roles throughout LRL whereas permanent recruitment often covers roles of a technical or specialist nature. The aim of this procurement project is to source and contract with a single supplier who can deliver the services. In doing so, the contracted supplier will be required to attend LRL's sites at Leyland and Thornton on a frequent basis to undertake the services. More detail is provided in ITT Appendix 1 - Schedule 1 - Specification. LRL's two sites are located as follows: Environmental Education Centre & Farington Waste Recovery Park Sustainability Way Leyland Lancashire PR26 6TB Thornton Waste Recovery Park Enterprise Way Fleetwood Road North Thornton Lancashire FY7 8RY Each waste treatment facility is designed to process and handle various municipal waste types arranged and supplied by Lancashire County Council and Blackpool Council. The anticipated value of the Services is estimated at £450,000 per annum. Note that this value (and the anticipated total value) is inclusive of the salaries paid to agency workers as well as the employment agency's assignment fees. An estimated total value range is £1,800,000 - £3,600,000 over the entire maximum duration of the contract (48-month initial period with optional extension up to a further 24 months).

Lancashire Renewables Ltd (LRL) is a company owned wholly by Lancashire Country 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 (circa 400,000 tonnes p.a.). Waste is either transported into the offtake market for further processing/ recycling or to landfill when necessary. LRL'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 LRL and Lancashire County Council. As part of its day-to-day operations, the company uses a Bollegraaf HBC80 automatic baler to compress waste material into blocks (bales) which are then secured by steel baling wire. The bales are subsequently transported on pallets by road to be further processed, such as metals, card, paper and plastics that will be recycled. Lancashire Renewables orders approximately 100 tonnes of baling wire per annum for the above purpose. Deliveries are made on returnable formers, with each former containing approximately 750kg of wire. The wire supplier must take away any empty formers at the point of each delivery in an exchange manner. Typical delivery volume is 24 tonnes of wire. There is currently one delivery location based at PR26 6TB. The baling wire is subject to strict tolerances as set out in the tender specification for baling wire.

Lancashire Renewables Limited (LRL) was established for the operation and management of two central waste treatment facilities. LRL'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. Each of LRL's two waste treatment facilities is designed to process and handle various municipal waste types arranged and supplied by Lancashire County Council and Blackpool Council. From April 2026, this means that source separated food waste from Lancashire's Households will be transported for processing into LRL's site based at Farington, Leyland (PR26 6TB). Until 2014, LRL had an anaerobic digestion (AD) process in operation. The inputs came from residual 'black bin' household waste with organics separated via rotating trommels and metal separation. Waste was then fed into pre-treatment technologies before the organic soup produced was fed into the anaerobic digestion process. Gas produced from the process was pre-treated to remove hydrogen sulphide and other undesirable compounds before being fed into a gas storage vessel prior to use by the power generation infrastructure. The biomethane supplied two MWM TCG 2020K V12 engines with fuel to generate electricity which was then used on-site rather than exported into the grid. The historical AD pre-treatment process was inefficient and expensive to run. As a result, the process ceased to operate in 2014 and the associated areas were put in a state of preservation and mothballed. It is estimated that the gas engines were only used for approximately 10000 hours prior to being decommissioned, having being installed circa 2010. As household source-separated food waste collections in England are mandatory from April 2026, LRL is looking to recommence a new AD process at its site based at: Lancashire Renewables Limited Farington Waste Recovery Park Sustainability Way Leyland PR26 6TB To facilitate this, 2 no. gas engines / gensets are required to be brought back into operational service at LRL's Leyland site. Therefore, the contract will include offsite initial refurbishment, delivery back to site, installation and testing, followed by ongoing service and maintenance. It is likely that the initial refurbishment and install back on site of the two gensets must be completed by 01/04/2026. It is possible that the same works may be undertaken, and hence the contract could require an additional 2 no. gas engines / gensets of the same manufacturer and model at LRL's Thornton facility. The contract will include provision for this, although it is to be decided at a later date whether this will be exercised.

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 (circa 400,000 tonnes p.a.). Lancashire Renewables Ltd has an ongoing requirement for the provision of emissions testing services at its two sites that are located at the following addresses: Farington Waste Recovery Park Sustainability Way Leyland Lancashire PR26 6TB and Thornton Waste Recovery Park Fleetwood Road North Thornton Cleveleys FY7 8RY Lancashire Renewables Ltd requires the provision of emissions testing services across both sites. The scope of the contract includes bioaerosol and emissions testing associated with waste processing activities, undertaken in accordance with the Environment Agency's Technical Guidance M9. This includes testing across biofilters - ammonia scrubbers, closed biofilters, and point source emissions to air from stacks, with sampling undertaken at appropriate locations. The contract is intended to commence on or around 01 August 2026 for an initial period of three years, ending on or around 31 July 2029, with the option to extend up to a further three years. The scope of the contract may be subject to change to reflect operational changes within Lancashire Renewables Ltd or any to accommodate any permit variation that could occur. As LRL plans to recommence its anaerobic digestion process around August-September 2026, the contract scope includes testing services for associated plant, such as biogas engine stacks and the emergency flare.
