## Summary

The recent procurement process by Wolverhampton City Council, focusing on the "CWC23071B - Balance of Plant" project, targets the engineering-related scientific and technical services sector. This direct award procedure, completed as of 23rd July 2025, centred on the Energy from Waste plant located in England. The award, valued at £82,370, is granted to Cobalt Energy Limited and spans from 16th July 2025 to 15th January 2026, ensuring continuity of engineering support critical for the plant's operations.

This tender provides substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in engineering and technical support services within the waste management industry. Particularly, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community sector enterprises (VCSEs) possessing expertise in such specialised areas are well-positioned to benefit and grow through such contracts. The involvement of Cobalt, a large-scale supplier, highlights the level of expertise required, thus encouraging other businesses with similar or aspiring capabilities to position themselves for future opportunities in this sector.

## Notice

Cobalt and NMOL staff have looked after and maintained the plant since they started working for WWS (Wolverhampton Waste Services) in Oct 2022. The direct award is necessary to allow Cobalt to complete the Balance of Plant work started by Martin Renewables Solutions Ltd. The direct award would ensure the consistency and continuity of the advice being provided and will provide the council with the specialist engineering and technical support in this very specialist field giving a robust approach to the future of the Energy from Waste plant.
