Summary of the contracting process

Natural Resources Wales has directly awarded a contract for the "Palleg Landfill - Emergency Leachate Removal and Site Management," due to extreme and unavoidable urgency. The contract was awarded to Geotechnology Limited, a company based in Neath, with a start date of 15 July 2025 and completion expected by 10 October 2025, extendable to a maximum of 10 December 2025. The procurement process fell under Welsh devolved regulations and it was a direct award due to the specialised technical knowledge required and the immediacy of the environmental concerns. This falls under the services category of the industry, specifically, landfill management, with work taking place in the United Kingdom, especially in regions UKL17 and UKL18.

This opportunity is significant for businesses with a strong background in environmental management and technical capacity in managing urgent waste disposal tasks. It creates a niche market opportunity for those with specific knowledge of landfill operation and the related environmental compliance standards. This type of contract is especially suitable for SMEs (Small and Medium Enterprises) that possess expertise in specialised waste management services, as there is a demand for immediate results and high precision work. Companies involved in landfill site management and emergency environmental solutions could leverage this contract as a reputation-building win, enabling them to secure further opportunities with public authorities facing similar urgent requirements.

Notice Title

Palleg Landfill - Emergency Leachate Removal and Site Management

Notice Description

Management of Palleg landfill site - leachate management Implementation, Transport and Disposal, Testing and Monitoring Requirements (Leachate), Grading and Testing (Soils) and Site Management.

Procurement Information

35. This justification is where the public contract cannot be awarded on the basis of a competitive tendering procedure because the goods, services or works are strictly necessary for reasons of extreme and unavoidable urgency. The urgency is unavoidable if it is not attributable to any act or omission of the contracting authority, and could not have been foreseen by the contracting authority. 36. The concept of 'unavoidable' urgency would not apply if the contracting authority had simply not allowed sufficient time to undertake a re-procurement of a contract. It may, however, apply, for example, where contamination is unexpectedly discovered on a site the contracting authority is providing to the successful supplier as part of a procurement and this needs to be removed immediately in order to prevent delay to the overall delivery.
