UK1 - Pipeline Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Lancashire County Council is initiating a procurement process for the provision of services related to the collection, transportation, and recycling of gypsum-containing waste. This procurement falls under the industry category of refuse and waste-related services and is identified by the CPV code 90500000. At present, the process is at the planning stage with a preliminary market engagement exercise currently underway. Interested organisations have until 5:00 pm on 4 August 2026 to submit their responses. The procurement process is expected to advance, with a full invitation to tender anticipated in October 2026. The project will be carried out in the UKD4 region, with contracts expected to commence on 1 April 2027 and may extend until 31 March 2031, including possible renewals.

This tender presents a robust opportunity for businesses specialising in waste management services, particularly those with capabilities in recycling gypsum-containing materials. The potential separation of the requirement into lots creates varied opportunities for suppliers, including SMEs. Participating in this procurement process could provide significant growth opportunities by partnering with a local government body. Businesses offering innovative and efficient waste management solutions are ideally positioned to compete effectively, given the strategic focus on environmental sustainability and value deliverables in waste handling services.
