Brief

Wigan Council is seeking qualified contractors to remove approximately 18,000 tonnes of illegally deposited waste from the Bolton House Road Site in Bickershaw, Wigan (WN2 4AB). The waste removal includes material deposited to the rear of the site on Diggle Flash, a nature reserve within Bickershaw Country Park. The waste volume was confirmed through LiDAR survey at approximately 23,086 cubic metres. This is an urgent procurement due to significant public health, environmental, and fire safety risks. The site has previously experienced fires, creating an ongoing serious fire hazard. Wigan Council is operating on an accelerated 15-day tender timeline to address these unforeseeable circumstances while maintaining fair competition. Potential contractors should be prepared to handle large-scale waste removal operations and demonstrate capability to manage approximately 18,000 tonnes of material safely and efficiently.
