Description
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 of OGM biofilters, ammonia scrubber plant emissions, odour abatement systems (including 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 July 2026 for an initial period of three years, ending on or around 30 June 2029, with the option to extend up to a further three years if required. The scope of the contract may be subject to change beyond 2029 to reflect any operational changes within Lancashire Renewables Ltd. As LRL plans to recommence its anaerobic digestion process around August-September 2026, the contract scope will likely include testing services for associated plant, such as biogas engines and the emergency flare.
