Lancashire Renewables Ltd has an ongoing requirement for the provision of emissions testing services at its two sites that are located at the following addresses: Farington Waste Recovery Park Sustainability Way Leyland Lancashire PR26 6TB and Thornton Waste Recovery Park Fleetwood Road North Thornton Cleveleys FY7 8RY Lancashire Renewables Ltd requires the provision of emissions testing services across both sites. The scope of the contract includes bioaerosol and emissions testing associated with waste processing activities, undertaken in accordance with the Environment Agency's Technical Guidance M9.
