Summary of the contracting process

Cheshire West and Chester Council has awarded a contract for the maintenance of cremators, which will be undertaken by Environmental Combustion Technologies Limited. This procurement process concluded on 16th December 2025, under a direct award method, owing to exclusive intellectual property rights or technical reasons. The council is located in Ellesmere Port, United Kingdom, and the contract is classified under miscellaneous repair and maintenance services. The contract started on 16th December 2025 and runs until 30th November 2030, with potential extensions available. This initiative falls under the category of services and promises a total contract value of £900,000 GBP.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the environmental and maintenance sectors to expand their operations. Companies specializing in plant maintenance, particularly those with expertise in handling crematory equipment, would be well-positioned to meet such requirements and potentially secure future contracts with Cheshire West and Chester Council. The direct award points to niche capabilities and specialised expertise, further suggesting that businesses with unique technological or intellectual property advancements may find similar procurements rewarding. The five-year tenure of the contract allows suppliers to foster a sustained business relationship and potentially explore further engagements post-contract expiry.
