Summary of the contracting process

The Isle of Wight Council commissioned independent technical inspection and audit services for the MT and energy recovery facility (ERF) at Forest Park on the Isle of Wight. The work covers an urgent on-site inspection and a comprehensive condition assessment of key facility assets, including mechanical, electrical, civil and structural infrastructure, and control systems. It also includes root cause analysis of critical operational issues and preparation of a hand-back documentation pack. This is an environmental engineering consultancy requirement for a waste facility, suited to firms combining engineering inspection, asset condition assessment and operational problem-solving capabilities. Delivery is at Forest Park, Isle of Wight.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. The Isle of Wight Council used a direct award below the applicable threshold without competition. WSP UK Limited was selected for the single lot. The contract was signed on 18 November 2025 and runs from 18 November 2025 to 31 December 2026, with a maximum extension date of 30 June 2028. Its value is £150,000 excluding VAT, or £180,000 including VAT. Renewal is available for supporting works connected with any further reprocurement of the Council’s waste service. The award is for services and the contract is active.

This award demonstrates demand from the Isle of Wight Council for specialist, independent technical assurance of operational waste infrastructure. A credible future competitor would need to inspect and assess mechanical, electrical, civil, structural and control-system assets, identify root causes of significant operational problems, and produce robust hand-back documentation. The requirement favours a multidisciplinary environmental engineering consultancy able to combine site-based inspection with condition surveying, engineering analysis and clear technical reporting. Firms should also be able to respond to urgent on-site requirements and support the Council with technical work associated with waste-service reprocurement. Experience of complex waste treatment or energy recovery facilities would be directly relevant to this buyer’s requirement.
