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. This includes testing across biofilters - ammonia scrubbers, closed biofilters, and point source emissions to air from stacks, with sampling undertaken at appropriate locations. The contract is intended to commence on or around 01 August 2026 for an initial period of three years, ending on or around 31 July 2029, with the option to extend up to a further three years. The scope of the contract may be subject to change to reflect operational changes within Lancashire Renewables Ltd or any to accommodate any permit variation that could occur.
