## Summary

Lancashire County Council has awarded a contract titled "Mixed Inert Waste Collection, Transportation, Acceptance and Recycling Services," targeting the refuse and waste industry category. The contract involves the collection, transportation, weighing, and recycling of mixed inert waste from Preston Transfer Station, and is set to take place in Preston, United Kingdom, within the region UKD45. The procurement process adhered to an open procedure, concluding with the contract being awarded to Blackpool Skip Hire Limited. The contract is active as of 20 April 2026, with service commencement scheduled for 1 May 2026 and expected to run until 30 April 2028, with potential extensions up to 48 months. The contract has a gross value of £1,605,875, and a signed framework agreement facilitates the procurement without reopening competition.

This procurement presents numerous opportunities for businesses specialising in waste management services. Particularly, it provides growth potential for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) capable of managing mixed waste using bulk haulage vehicles with specific load capacities. The involvement in recycling initiatives aligns with enhancing environmental sustainability standards. Companies that have expertise in refuse and waste-related services and those that can handle and transport inert waste efficiently are well-suited for this framework agreement. Furthermore, the procurement method employed allows for competitive service provision terms, encouraging participation from capable providers to expand their operational scope within the thriving waste management sector.
