Purpose

Lancashire County Council currently has three contracts in place for the Provision of Residual Waste Recovery/Disposal Services, all of which were awarded to Lancashire Waste Recycling Limited in 2022 following a mini-competition from the now-expired framework for the Provision of Residual Waste Recovery/Disposal Services let by Lancashire County Council in 2018.

The initial term for each contract commenced on 1 June 2022 and runs to 31 May 2025. All three contracts have the option to extend the contract for a further period, or periods, up to a maximum of 24-months in addition to the initial term.

Lancashire County Council is looking to exercise the full 24 month extension on all three contracts to secure residual waste recovery/disposal capacity to meet expected waste demands during this time.

The extension will run from 1 June 2025 to 31 May 2027, following which no further extension is applicable.

Decision

Steve Scott, Head of Waste Management, on behalf of the Andrew Mullaney, Director of Environment and Planning took a decision to approve extension of three contracts for the provision of Residual Waste Recovery/Disposal Services with Lancashire Waste Recycling Limited from 01 June 2025 to 31 May 2027 as permitted in the current terms and conditions of the contracts, of which the initial period is due to expire 31 May 2025. The extension is compliant with procurement regulations.
