Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for Lancashire County Council's "Provision of Residual Waste Transfer Services in East Lancashire" was initiated to acquire services across four lots covering Burnley, Hyndburn, Pendle, and Rossendale. The tender was overseen by SOCIAL VALUE PORTAL LTD as the procuring entity, with the focus on refuse and waste-related services. The procurement method adopted was an open procedure, targeting a contract value grossing £8,976,390. Key dates initially set the tender period to close on 18 November 2025, with an award period ending on 19 December 2025. Unfortunately, as of 19 December 2025, the tender status was marked as complete with a tender cancellation due to no suitable bids received for any lot.

Despite the cancellation, this tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialised in waste management services. The split into four specific lots offers a chance for SMEs with the relevant expertise and capacity to manage significant tonnes of waste across different districts in East Lancashire. Companies with experience in providing waste transfer services, robust financial and technical capabilities, as well as a flair for delivering social value, may find future opportunities as the council might re-procure the services or seek new contractual arrangements. Keeping engaged with similar tenders from Lancashire County Council could lead to business growth and development within the waste management sector.
