Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Wigan Council has initiated a tender process for the "Bolton House Road Site Waste Clearance" project, focusing on refuse and waste related services within Bickershaw, Wigan. This urgent procurement demands the removal of approximately 18,000 tonnes of waste from an illegal dump site presenting public health and environmental risks. The procurement is in its tender stage, issued on 7th August 2026, with the deadline for submissions set for the 1st of September 2026. The procurement will be conducted using an open procedure, inviting proposals from eligible businesses for a project valued at £7,000,000. The contract is expected to commence on 26th October 2026 and conclude by the 1st of April 2027.

This tender represents significant opportunities for businesses involved in waste management and environmental services, particularly those capable of handling large-scale clearance operations. As the procurement method is open, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, though it is not directly targeting Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprises (VCSEs). Companies with expertise in safely managing and disposing of waste, along with the capacity to navigate and operate within environmentally sensitive areas like the Diggle Flash nature reserve, are well-suited to compete for this contract. This project not only offers a chance to secure substantial financial returns but also contributes positively to environmental protection efforts in the region.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Bolton House Road Site Waste Clearance

Notice Description

You are invited to tender for the contract to clear waste illegally deposited on the Bolton House Road Site, Bickershaw, Wigan, WN2 4AB. It includes waste that has been deposited to the rear of the site on Diggle Flash (A nature reserve that is part of Bickershaw Country Park). The quantity of waste Wigan Council expects to be removed is estimated to be in the region of 18,000 tonnes. This is estimated following a LiDAR survey which calculated the volume of waste as 23,086 metres cubed. Additional information: Wigan Council is conducting this procurement on an accelerated timetable due to an urgent requirement brought about by circumstances both unforeseeable and unattributable to Wigan Council. The urgent need is to clear an illegal waste site that presents an unacceptable risk to public health, environmental harm and outbreak of fire. Please note that the site has previously caught fire thus there remains a serious fire risk. The procurement timeline is reduced to c.15 days thus still allowing for sufficient competition.
