## Summary

Worcestershire County Council (WCC) has completed the procurement process for the laboratory analysis of groundwater, surface waters, and leachate for a 24-month period from 2026 to 2028. The focus is on environmental monitoring of closed landfill sites within Worcestershire and one in Gloucestershire. This contract, valued at £20,605.96, is classified under laboratory services and was processed through a quotation method. The West Midlands region, in the United Kingdom, is the primary location for this service. The procurement reached the award stage on 12 May 2026 with SOCOTEC UK LIMITED as the awarded supplier.

This tender offers significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) capable of providing specialised laboratory services within the environmental sector. Businesses involved in chemical analysis and consultancy related to environmental remediation will find this procurement process particularly beneficial. With a focus on laboratory services, companies that can supply specialised equipment or analytical expertise in monitoring water quality standards stand to benefit substantially. The contract also allows for additional ad hoc sample analysis, offering further business growth potential for adaptable service providers.

## Notice

Worcestershire County Council (WCC) is responsible for the environmental monitoring of eight closed landfill sites within the county. All sites were licensed, under COPA, for the disposal of domestic and non-hazardous commercial waste arising from within the county, the last site being closed in 1993. WCC also collects a sample from a closed landfill in Gloucestershire. Over the 24-month period we are scheduled to collect 432 water/leachate samples (dependent upon the site conditions encountered). Further liquid samples may be submitted on an ad hoc basis.
