This initiative falls under the industry category of data collection and collation services, specifically referenced by CPV code 72314000. The project aims to compile an anonymised dataset related to the costs and operational characteristics of landfill-gas-to-electricity generation across Great Britain. The contract, with a value of £60,000, was directly awarded to WSP UK LIMITED, a large-scale company, using a non-competitive procurement method labelled as "Other - Direct Award." The contract period extends from 4th June 2026 to 6th November 2026, with services to be potentially delivered in regions such as the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, the Rest of the World, and the United Kingdom.

SMEs are suitable to participate in such tenders, enhancing their growth through partnerships or subcontracting with major entities like WSP UK LIMITED. Additionally, businesses with capabilities in survey management, data validation, and technical reporting may find further opportunities via ancillary services. Overall, this project not only supports the adaptation and optimisation of landfill gas to electricity systems but encourages the cultivation of innovative solutions within the green energy landscape.

Notice Title

Contract Award Notice - Landfill Gas to Electricity, Cost Commission

Notice Description

This project will commission independent, quality-assured evidence on the costs, operational characteristics and revenues of landfill-gas-to-electricity generation in Great Britain. It will focus on continued electricity generation and directly attributable supporting systems, using a structured operator survey, targeted follow-up engagement and third-party triangulation to compile an anonymised dataset covering historical actuals and forward projections. The work will capture key cost and operational drivers, including gas decline, load factors, gas quality, reinvestment needs and commercial arrangements. Outputs will include an Excel-based data workbook, validation log, technical report, and a presentation setting out the methodology, key findings, uncertainties and benchmarked cost evidence.
