This tender is in the 'Tender' stage, with submissions due by 14 May 2026 and awards announced by 16 July 2026. Commencing on 1 August 2026, the contract runs for three years with a possible extension up to six years, targeting both bioaerosol and emissions testing. Interested parties should note that the process is open to SMEs and employs an open procurement method under the Procurement Act 2023. This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in environmental services or waste analysis, particularly those capable of conducting rigorous emissions testing under the Environment Agency's Technical Guidance M9. With a projected value of £960,000, businesses focused on sustainable waste management can tap into a growing niche market, driven by initiatives like LRL's plans to recommence its anaerobic digestion process. Enterprises providing advanced waste analysis technologies or possessing expertise in handling emissions-related tasks are especially poised to gain from this opportunity, potentially strengthening partnerships with sub-central government bodies. ## Notice Lancashire Renewables Ltd (LRL) is a company owned wholly by Lancashire County Council and Blackpool Council. LRL operates two waste treatment facilities in Leyland and Thornton. Each site is approximately 40 acres and contains numerous buildings responsible for the receival and processing of household and residual waste (circa 400,000 tonnes p.a.). Lancashire Renewables Ltd has an ongoing requirement for the provision of emissions testing services at its two sites that are located at the following addresses: Farington Waste Recovery Park Sustainability Way Leyland Lancashire PR26 6TB and Thornton Waste Recovery Park Fleetwood Road North Thornton Cleveleys FY7 8RY Lancashire Renewables Ltd requires the provision of emissions testing services across both sites. The scope of the contract includes bioaerosol and emissions testing associated with waste processing activities, undertaken in accordance with the Environment Agency's Technical Guidance M9. This includes testing across biofilters - ammonia scrubbers, closed biofilters, and point source emissions to air from stacks, with sampling undertaken at appropriate locations. The contract is intended to commence on or around 01 August 2026 for an initial period of three years, ending on or around 31 July 2029, with the option to extend up to a further three years. The scope of the contract may be subject to change to reflect operational changes within Lancashire Renewables Ltd or any to accommodate any permit variation that could occur. As LRL plans to recommence its anaerobic digestion process around August-September 2026, the contract scope includes testing services for associated plant, such as biogas engine stacks and the emergency flare. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Options: Permit variations and any operational changes within LRL that may reasonably lead to additional services being required of a similar nature. Renewal: The initial Contract period will be three years, after such time the Authority may extend the Contract by any number of defined periods, provided that the total duration does not exceed six years. ### Planning Information Should you be interested in this tender opportunity, please contact us via procurement@lancashirerenewables.co.uk The tender opportunity is planned for advertisement circa March- April 2026 on Lancashire Renewable's e-tender portal.
