AI Contract Overview

Wigan Council is seeking a contractor for the urgent removal of approximately 18,000 tonnes of illegally deposited waste at the Bolton House Road Site in Bickershaw, Wigan, including areas extending into the Diggle Flash nature reserve. This requirement is being handled on an accelerated 15-day procurement timetable due to critical risks involving public health, environmental damage, and a high probability of fire, as the site has previously experienced outbreaks.

A new contract award notice has been issued to correct previous errors regarding quality question weightings in the bidder assessment summaries, and the standstill period has been restarted to maintain transparency.

Full Description

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. New Contract Award Notice completed (Please ignore previous Contract Award Notice [Notice identifier: 2026/S 000-088825]). This is due to the incorrect column being included within the bidders' Assessment Summaries referencing the percentage weightings for each quality question. The error has been rectified hence, this new Contract Award Notice. In line with the principle of transparency, Wigan Council shall restart the standstill period.
