UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Central Bedfordshire Council is procuring environmental services for its closed landfill sites at Sundon and Bluewaters. The requirement covers two related areas of work. The first is operational and environmental support, including operation and maintenance of the Sundon Leachate Treatment Plant, management of environmental compounds and infrastructure, inspections, monitoring, sampling, repairs, data recording, reporting, regulatory liaison and environmental compliance support. The second is specialist consultancy to manage surrender of the Environment Agency permit for Sundon Closed Landfill, including reviewing monitoring data, preparing and submitting documentation, liaising with the Environment Agency and supporting the process through to approval. This is a services contract in environmental monitoring, protection and consultancy. Suppliers may bid for either or both lots.

The procurement has reached tender: the council invited offers through an open procedure. Bids must be submitted electronically or by the permitted methods by 25 August 2026 at 12:00. The intended award decision date is 25 September 2026 at 23:59. Both lots are evaluated on the same basis: price 50%, quality 40% and social value 10%. Lot 1 is planned from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2028, with an option to extend by up to two years, potentially to 30 September 2030. Lot 2 runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2027. The recorded estimated value is £0 gross for the procurement and £0 gross for each lot. The buyer is Central Bedfordshire Council.

Lot 1 suits contractors experienced in closed-landfill operations, leachate treatment, environmental compounds, site inspections, sampling, monitoring infrastructure, maintenance repairs and environmental data reporting. Bidders should be able to manage routine site operations, respond to maintenance requirements, liaise with regulators and support environmental compliance across Sundon and Bluewaters. Lot 2 suits specialist environmental consultancies with experience of Environment Agency permit surrender. Relevant capability includes interpreting environmental monitoring data, advising on regulatory requirements, preparing technically sound surrender documentation, managing submissions and maintaining liaison with the Environment Agency until approvals are secured. Suppliers with both operational landfill expertise and regulatory consultancy capability can pursue both lots, while the structure also allows focused bids from businesses specialising in either delivery area.
