Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Wigan Council is procuring works to clear illegally deposited waste from the Bolton House Road site in Bickershaw, Wigan, including waste deposited behind the site on Diggle Flash, a nature reserve within Bickershaw Country Park. The requirement is refuse and waste clearance, covering the removal and appropriate handling of a substantial waste deposit. The site is in the Wigan area, with the stated address being Bolton House Road Site, Bickershaw, WN2 4AB. The work is intended to address risks arising from the illegal waste site, including public health risks, environmental harm and fire risk. The council is the buying organisation and has identified the opportunity as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

The procurement reached tender: Wigan Council invited offers through an open procedure above the threshold. It used an accelerated timetable because of an urgent requirement arising from unforeseeable circumstances outside the council’s control, with a reduced procurement timeline of about 15 days. The deadline for tenders was 1 September 2026 at 12:00 noon. The contract period was set to run from 26 October 2026 to 1 April 2027. Its estimated value is £7,000,000 including the stated currency of pounds sterling. The expected waste quantity is approximately 18,000 tonnes, based on a LiDAR survey calculating a waste volume of 23,086 cubic metres. The procurement is presented as a single requirement.

This opportunity suits waste clearance and environmental remediation contractors able to mobilise a substantial operation at a site presenting public health, environmental and fire risks. Suppliers need the practical capability to remove and manage a large illegal waste deposit, with capacity consistent with an estimated 18,000 tonnes of material and a surveyed volume of 23,086 cubic metres. Relevant experience is likely to include large-scale waste removal, site clearance, waste handling and working safely where fire hazards may remain. The location also includes waste behind the main site on Diggle Flash, a nature reserve within Bickershaw Country Park, so contractors should be prepared to operate in or beside a sensitive environmental setting. The procurement is identified as suitable for SMEs.

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.
