UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Cumbria Commissioner Fire and Rescue Authority procured foam disposal services across its fire estate. The requirement sits within refuse and waste-related services and concerns disposal rather than a broader fire-service or equipment contract. The buying authority is based in Penrith, and the work covers its fire estate; no individual delivery sites are identified.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. It was run as below-threshold limited competition, with one lot. Veolia UK Limited was selected as supplier. The contract was signed on 25 March 2026, with a period from 15 June to 31 August 2026. Its stated value is £28,000 excluding VAT (£33,600 including VAT). No award date or evaluation criteria are provided in the published process data.

This award shows demand from Cumbria’s fire authority for specialist foam disposal across a fire-service estate. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to handle and dispose of foam waste from multiple operational sites, with the practical capacity to coordinate collections across the estate. The authority selected a large waste-services supplier through limited competition, so relevant waste-management capability and a record of delivering comparable disposal work would be important to demonstrate.
