Summary of the contracting process

The contracting process concerning Newport City Council involves the project titled "Electricity Generation from Landfill Gas," classified under services incidental to gas extraction within the UK region UKL21. The procurement process went through various stages, including planning on 20th March 2025, active tender with an end date for submissions on 28th April 2025, and ultimately a cancellation on 20th August 2025 due to unforeseen legal complexities. The buyer, Newport City Council, followed Welsh devolved regulations, initiating under the open procedure as per the Procurement Act 2023. Despite the tender initially being active with a gross budget of £599,999, it was closed with no contract awarded.

This cancelled tender could have offered significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in landfill gas management and electricity generation, particularly those experienced in delivering technical solutions related to gas extraction. Small and medium-sized enterprises, suitable under the procurement criteria, might have found the contract a valuable addition to their portfolio. However, businesses should remain alert for future opportunities and market engagements, as Newport City Council continues its efforts to negotiate improved terms for gas management at the Docks Way landfill site, potentially facilitating enhanced revenue streams in the future. Interested companies should ensure they keep an eye on announcements from Newport City Council for updates or new tenders in this sector.
