Market Engagement - Landfill Gas Capture
Notice Description
North Ayrshire Council ("NAC") are looking to notify the market about the contract opportunity for the assessment of the viability at two historic landfill sites to capture landfill gas. The sites are: Brodick Landfill Site - which is situated on the Island of Arran, at the east side of Brodick, adjacent to the coastline and with farmland to the south of the site. NAC operated this site and disposed of household, commercial and industrial wastes. The site was operational from the 1960's until the 31st of August 2006. Nethermains Landfill Site - which is situated between Irvine and Kilwinning just south of the A78. The site area within the WML boundary is approximately 11 hectares. The majority of Nethermains Landfill Site was formally agricultural land prior to landfill operations. North Ayrshire Council operated this site and disposed of household, commercial and industrial wastes. The site operated from the late1970's to the mid-2000. The purpose of this market engagement questionnaire is to give suppliers advanced notice of the project, determine the best route to market, and to help shape the procurement process in terms of any minimum requirements set. NAC are a strong believer in early supplier involvement to ensure the success of projects. We would therefore like to encourage you to participate to ensure your feedback is captured and considered. The questionnaire should be returned to William Tomelty, Procurement Team Manager (Sustainability) at williamtomelty@north-ayrshire.gov.uk before close of business 24th September 2025.

"description": "The objective of the landfill gas pumping trials is to determine the volumes and qualities of landfill gas that can be sustainably extracted from a landfill site. The information generated from the trial will support consideration of longer term solutions to gas management at sites e.g. passive management or active extraction. Where active extraction can be shown to be sustainable, the trial will provide information on the required design parameters of a permanently installed extraction system to ensure the system is adequate in scale so that all the gas can be controlled correctly.
