Description

Lancashire Renewables Ltd (LRL) is a company owned wholly by Lancashire Country 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.). Waste is either transported into the offtake market for further processing/ recycling or to landfill when necessary. LRL's key objectives are to receive, treat and transport contract waste in accordance with the targets and service requirements set out in the Service Level Agreement between LRL and Lancashire County Council. As part of its day-to-day operations, the company uses a Bollegraaf HBC80 automatic baler to compress waste material into blocks (bales) which are then secured by steel baling wire. The bales are subsequently transported on pallets by road to be further processed, such as metals, card, paper and plastics that will be recycled. Lancashire Renewables orders approximately 100 tonnes of baling wire per annum for the above purpose. Deliveries are made on returnable formers, with each former containing approximately 750kg of wire. The wire supplier must take away any empty formers at the point of each delivery in an exchange manner. Typical delivery volume is 24 tonnes of wire. There is currently one delivery location based at PR26 6TB. The baling wire is subject to strict tolerances as set out in the tender specification for baling wire.

Renewal Options

The anticipated value of the Goods is approximately £150,000 per annum. Lancashire Renewables reserves the right to spend up to £2,000,000 over the entire framework term (maximum of eight years as per PA 2023 section 49; including all frameworks awarded under the open framework scheme), to account for volatility in the steel market and as-yet unknown changes to UK recycling practices that may or may not lead to increased co-mingled recycle tonnages coming into the Authority's business for processing. The Authority currently purchases approximately 100 tonnes of baling wire per annum. However, the volumes may increase or decrease during the term of the contract.
