This urgent requirement involves clearing approximately 18,000 tonnes of illegally deposited waste from the Bolton House Road Site, including the Diggle Flash nature reserve. The tender procedure, conducted through the open method, has been accelerated due to significant risks to public health and safety, aiming to clear the site before severe consequences arise. Interested bidders must submit their tenders via "The Chest" e-procurement portal by 1 September 2026, with the contract expected to begin on 26 October 2026 and conclude by 1 April 2027. The contract, exceeding a threshold of £7,000,000 (gross) or £8,400,000 might involve further purchases if more waste is discovered during clearance. This procurement presents a significant business opportunity, particularly for companies experienced in large-scale waste management, especially those capable of handling hazardous waste linked to illegal deposits. The tender is well-suited for businesses capable of delivering consistent service, with robust sub-contractor management skills and a solid understanding of compliance and safety standards. There is a strong emphasis on environmental management and fire safety given the site's history. This project aligns with SMEs seeking to expand within the public sector, encouraging economic growth through demonstrated competence and the ability to manage unforeseen on-site challenges. With a high weighting on quality and social value, successful bidders could gain visibility and credibility, bolstering future contracting prospects. ## Notice You are invited to tender for the contract to clear waste illegally deposited on the Bolton House Road Site, Bickershaw, Wigan, WN2 4AB. It includes waste that has been deposited to the rear of the site on Diggle Flash (A nature reserve that is part of Bickershaw Country Park). The quantity of waste Wigan Council expects to be removed is estimated to be in the region of 18,000 tonnes. This is estimated following a LiDAR survey which calculated the volume of waste as 23,086 metres cubed. Wigan Council is conducting this procurement on an accelerated timetable due to an urgent requirement brought about by circumstances both unforeseeable and unattributable to Wigan Council. The urgent need is to clear an illegal waste site that presents an unacceptable risk to public health, environmental harm and outbreak of fire. Please note that the site has previously caught fire thus there remains a serious fire risk. The procurement timeline is reduced to c.15 days thus still allowing for sufficient competition. The breakdown of Lots for this urgent requirement isn't feasible for this requirement. In accordance with the principles of the Procurement Act 2023, Wigan Council considered whether the contract could be divided into lots. Following assessment, it was concluded that a single lot approach is appropriate due to the integrated nature of the urgent requirement and the need for consistent delivery, contract oversight along with supplier accountability. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Options: Upon further work on site, it may transpire that additional purchases may be required in order to fully clear the illegal waste site. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/075952-2026 | | Notice type | UK4 - Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning, Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 10 Aug 2026 | | Submission deadline | 1 Sep 2026 | | Future notice date | 10 Aug 2026 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 26 Oct 2026 - 1 Apr 2027 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £7,000,000 | | Lots value | £7,000,000 | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | WIGAN COUNCIL | | Locality | WIGAN | | Post town | Wigan | | Postcode | WN1 1YN | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD3 Greater Manchester | | ITL 3 | TLD36 Greater Manchester North West | | Local authority | Wigan | | Electoral ward | Wigan Central | | Westminster constituency | Wigan | | Delivery location | TLD36 Greater Manchester North West | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work - 90 - Sewage, refuse, cleaning and environmental services ### Codes - 45222110 - Waste disposal site construction work - 90500000 - Refuse and waste related services ## Release History - 10 Aug 2026 at 17:03 - Tender - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/075952-2026 - 7 Aug 2026 at 17:32 - Planning - UK1 - Pipeline Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/075480-2026 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/075952-2026 10th August 2026 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/075480-2026 7th August 2026 - Pipeline notice on Find a Tender ## Notice URLs - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents - https://www.the-chest.org.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
