UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Essex County Council bought maintenance services for landfill gas flares at three landfill sites in Essex. The work covers the upkeep and repair of flare equipment used at the sites. This is a specialist operational maintenance requirement for suppliers serving landfill or waste-management infrastructure, rather than a general machinery-maintenance contract. The buying organisation is Essex County Council, based in Chelmsford. The service is delivered across the three Essex landfill sites; the locations are not individually named.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Essex County Council awarded the work to Landfill Systems Maintenance Limited. The council used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition; the procurement was organised as one lot. The contract was signed on 30 September 2026 and runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2031, with an option for one further 24-month extension, giving a maximum stated end date of 30 September 2033. The contract value is £180,000 including VAT. The published data does not provide a separate award date or evaluation criteria.

For suppliers assessing future work from Essex County Council, this award shows demand for specialist maintenance of landfill gas flares across multiple sites. A credible competitor would need practical experience maintaining and repairing flare machinery and the capacity to service three landfill locations in Essex. The selected supplier is a small or medium-sized enterprise, demonstrating that a specialist SME was able to deliver this requirement. This is a focused opportunity for firms with relevant landfill-gas and equipment-maintenance capability, rather than suppliers offering general facilities or waste services alone. The council used a direct award without competition for this contract, so the award does not establish a competitive evaluation model or show how competing suppliers would be assessed next time.
