Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Initial Refurbishment, Maintenance and Service for Gas Engines/Gensets ITT" was led by Lancashire Renewables Limited, a sub-central government public authority located in Leyland, United Kingdom. The contract, under the industry category of "Gas appliance maintenance and generator repair services," focuses on refurbishing and maintaining gas engines at the Leyland site, with the possibility of extending similar services to the Thornton facility. This open procedure began with a tender stage and has now reached the award stage, awarding the contract to GENSERV NORTHWEST LTD, an SME based in Manchester. The award, valued at a gross amount of £2,400,000, was formalised on 12 January 2026, with the contract period commencing on 2 February 2026 and potentially extending until 1 February 2032. The procurement aimed to commence the refurbishment by 31 March 2026, aligning with mandatory food waste collection from April 2026.

The contract presents lucrative opportunities for businesses in the services category that specialise in gas engine refurbishment and maintenance. SMEs with experience in handling large-scale energy infrastructure projects are particularly well-positioned to compete for such tenders due to the scale and complexity of the work involved. The open procurement method ensures a competitive environment, enabling businesses that can deliver high-quality services at competitive prices to grow their market presence significantly. The possibility of additional work at a second facility further increases the potential for long-term engagement and growth, making this an attractive opportunity for suitable suppliers.

Notice Title

Initial Refurbishment, Maintenance and Service for Gas Engines / Gensets ITT

Notice Description

Lancashire Renewables Limited (LRL) was established for the operation and management of two central waste treatment facilities. LRL's key objectives are to receive, treat and transport contract waste in accordance with the targets and service requirements set out in the Service Level Agreement between the company and its majority shareholder, Lancashire County Council. Each of LRL's two waste treatment facilities is designed to process and handle various municipal waste types arranged and supplied by Lancashire County Council and Blackpool Council. From April 2026, this means that source separated food waste from Lancashire's Households will be transported for processing into LRL's site based at Farington, Leyland (PR26 6TB). Until 2014, LRL had an anaerobic digestion (AD) process in operation. The inputs came from residual 'black bin' household waste with organics separated via rotating trommels and metal separation. Waste was then fed into pre-treatment technologies before the organic soup produced was fed into the anaerobic digestion process. Gas produced from the process was pre-treated to remove hydrogen sulphide and other undesirable compounds before being fed into a gas storage vessel prior to use by the power generation infrastructure. The biomethane supplied two MWM TCG 2020K V12 engines with fuel to generate electricity which was then used on-site rather than exported into the grid. The historical AD pre-treatment process was inefficient and expensive to run. As a result, the process ceased to operate in 2014 and the associated areas were put in a state of preservation and mothballed. It is estimated that the gas engines were only used for approximately 10000 hours prior to being decommissioned, having being installed circa 2010. As household source-separated food waste collections in England are mandatory from April 2026, LRL is looking to recommence a new AD process at its site based at: Lancashire Renewables Limited Farington Waste Recovery Park Sustainability Way Leyland PR26 6TB To facilitate this, 2 no. gas engines / gensets are required to be brought back into operational service at LRL's Leyland site. Therefore, the contract will include offsite initial refurbishment, delivery back to site, installation and testing, followed by ongoing service and maintenance. It is likely that the initial refurbishment and install back on site of the two gensets must be completed by 31/03/2026. It is possible that the same works may be undertaken, and hence the contract could require an additional 2 no. gas engines / gensets of the same manufacturer and model at LRL's Thornton facility. The contract will include provision for this, although it is to be decided at a later date whether this will be exercised.
