## Summary

West Northamptonshire Council has successfully awarded a contract to Alpheus Environmental Limited for the operation and maintenance of the Gayton Closed Landfill. This project falls under the "Refuse and waste related services" industry category and addresses the management of a contaminated site in Northampton, with the contract period running from 1st October 2024 to 30th September 2029. The procurement was conducted via an open procedure with an allocated budget of £520,202. The procurement process has achieved completion, with the key award date being 24th October 2024.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses specialising in environmental management and waste treatment services. SMEs, in particular, are noted as suitable participants, reflecting the opportunity for smaller and medium-sized enterprises to engage in the upkeep of specialised waste systems. Companies with expertise in managing leachate treatment plants and complying with stringent environmental standards would be well-suited to compete for similar future contracts.

## Notice

The Authority is a unitary authority formed in 2021 from the former areas of Daventry District Council, Northampton Borough Council and South Northamptonshire Council and part of Northamptonshire County Council. A West Northamptonshire Council Cabinet report gave permission to commence a procurement process that was approved at 7th May 2024 Cabinet Meeting. Gayton closed landfill is currently classified as contaminated land under Part 2a of the Environmental Protection Act. To mitigate emissions from this site there is an on-site leachate treatment plant at Gayton closed landfill which intercepts and treats leachate from the site and prevents uncontrolled discharge, thereby mitigating and reducing the risks that the site may otherwise present. This leachate treatment plant is managed by a service provider contractor in accordance with the Environment Agency's required standards of the formal discharge consent.
