Summary of the contracting process

Lancashire County Council is undertaking a procurement process for the "Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) and Household Batteries, Collection, Transportation and Treatment Services". This process is currently at the tender stage, with key details updated most recently on 14th November 2025. The council seeks a single supplier for the contract through an open procedure designed for below-threshold, unregulated concession contracts. The services are categorised under refuse disposal and treatment as well as hazardous waste services, and the activities will be conducted across various designated collection facilities within the UKD4 region. The tender period is set to conclude on 12th December 2025 at 11:00 AM, and the contract will commence on 1st April 2026, extending through to 31st March 2030.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in waste management, especially those capable of handling hazardous materials and electronic waste. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) can benefit from participating, as the tender is structured to accommodate their capacity. The potential contract, valued at a gross amount of £2,160,000, will be awarded based primarily on quality (90%) and social value criteria (10%), without pricing as a direct factor. Companies with expertise in adhering to compliance schemes and those familiar with the regulations surrounding WEEE waste will be well-positioned to succeed in this competitive bidding process.
