Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, managed by Halton Borough Council, centred on the service title "Septic Tank Emptying," predominantly at the Travellers Transit site in Runcorn and additional sites within Halton. This procurement follows the legal basis of UK legislation 2023/54 and was conducted using a direct method below the competition threshold, which does not require open competition. The process reached the award stage, and a contract was actively signed on the 16th of April 2025, extending until the 16th of April 2027. The procurement falls under the services category and is valued at £80,000, awarded to William G Search, a large-scale enterprise based in Kirby, Liverpool.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses involved in the environmental services sector, particularly those specialising in waste management and septic services. Companies well-suited to such opportunities are likely those with the capability to efficiently handle service contracts for public authorities and provide reliable, round-the-clock servicing. The nature of this procurement process—conducted without open competition—favours businesses that are capable of developing close working relationships with local government bodies.
