Summary of the contracting process

Lancashire County Council is in the planning stages of a tender process titled "Provision of Treated Residual Waste Recovery Services - Thornton Waste Recovery Park." This procurement is categorised under refuse and waste-related services and is situated in the region of UKD4, United Kingdom. The Council is conducting preliminary market engagement to invite expressions of interest, which are due by the 7th of August, 2026. The procurement process anticipates moving towards a full invitation to tender later in 2026. The contracting process, currently in the planning phase, involves engagement with potential partners to ensure comprehensive market understanding.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in the treatment, collection, transportation and recovery of residual waste. Given the potential scale, with up to 75,000 tonnes of waste involved, companies with expertise in waste management could find lucrative prospects. The tender might extend over several years with a start date set for June 2027, suggesting opportunities for sustained business growth. Firms with relevant experience and capabilities in supporting sub-central government public authorities, particularly those familiar with waste recovery park operations, would be well-suited to compete in this procurement process.
