Summary of the contracting process

Lancashire County Council recently cancelled a tender process that involved the provision of Asbestos Waste Acceptance and Disposal Services. This process was initially in the planning stage, then moved to tender and finally, to an award phase. However, it reached completion with a cancellation decision on 3rd February 2026, allowing Lancashire County Council time to reassess its requirements. The procurement was conducted under an open procedure, seeking to identify service providers capable of managing asbestos waste across various locations, with an electronic submission deadline previously set for December 2025.

This tender process holds significant potential for businesses operating in waste management, particularly those specialising in asbestos handling and disposal. With framework agreements available for up to three companies, it creates strategic opportunities for growth by establishing long-term service provision arrangements with a public authority. The focus on economic, technical, and social value criteria in the award stage suggests that businesses with strong financial stability, technical expertise, and social responsibility stand a good chance of succeeding in future tenders if the process is reopened.
