Market Engagement - Landfill Gas Capture

Description

North Ayrshire Council (“NAC”) are looking to notify the market about the contract opportunity for the assessment of the viability at two historic landfill sites to capture landfill gas. The sites are: Brodick Landfill Site - which is situated on the Island of Arran, at the east side of Brodick, adjacent to the coastline and with farmland to the south of the site. NAC operated this site and disposed of household, commercial and industrial wastes. The site was operational from the 1960’s until the 31st of August 2006. Nethermains Landfill Site - which is situated between Irvine and Kilwinning just south of the A78. The site area within the WML boundary is approximately 11 hectares. The majority of Nethermains Landfill Site was formally agricultural land prior to landfill operations. North Ayrshire Council operated this site and disposed of household, commercial and industrial wastes. The site operated from the late1970’s to the mid-2000. The purpose of this market engagement questionnaire is to give suppliers advanced notice of the project, determine the best route to market, and to help shape the procurement process in terms of any minimum requirements set. NAC are a strong believer in early supplier involvement to ensure the success of projects. We would therefore like to encourage you to participate to ensure your feedback is captured and considered. The questionnaire should be returned to William Tomelty, Procurement Team Manager (Sustainability) at williamtomelty@north-ayrshire.gov.uk before close of business 24th September 2025. Lot 1: Final details will be included within a detailed specification and whilst exact dates have yet to be confirmed NAC hope to award November 2025 to commence November 2025 with completion anticipated to be in early March 2026.. NAC have received a grant from Scottish Government that will part-fund the project, with the remaining being funded by NAC. In line with the conditions of the grant, it is essential that both landfill gas projects are procured and fully completed at both sites prior to 31st March 2026.
