    "description": "Wigan Council is seeking a suitably qualified contractor to clear waste illegally deposited on Diggle Flash Nature Reserve adjacent to Bolton House Road, Bickershaw, Wigan, WN2 4AB. The procurement is being undertaken using reduced timescales due to a state of urgency in accordance with Regulation 54 of the Procurement Act 2023. This is in order reduce the environmental impact and fire risk and therefore complies with the Cabinet Office Guidance: Time Limits (note 13).\nWigan Council has committed to remove waste that has been deposited on Diggle Flash (a nature reserve) to the rear (or east of the Bolton House Road Site) and some waste will remain on the adjacent Bolton House Road site.\nThe quantity of waste Wigan Council expects to be removed is estimated to be 3,243 tonnes. The contractor will be responsible for all aspects of management, access, construction, security, health and safety, environmental protection, haulage/treatment and restoration. \nThe Bolton House Road site is subject to a closure order (granted 18th July 2025). Access to the site is strictly controlled. Contractors appointed by Wigan Council are permitted to work on the Bolton House Road site with the landowner\u0027s permission. The contractor is expected to access the site via the Smith\u2019s Lane nature reserve-Diggle Flash footpath, which will involve establishing an access route. The access route is a narrow track approximately 750 metres long that will require overgrowth/trees and canopy removal along it\u0027s length to allow HGV access, and a small area of trees will also need to be removed to allow access from the track to the area where the waste is deposited. The waste will need to be loaded onto haulage vehicles for transfer to permitted disposal. Following disposal the remaining waste will need to be reprofiled and the area left safe, which may also require land remediation. \nThe project will therefore involve the following steps:\n1) Phase 1 \u2013 Site Preparation and Access \na. Health and Safety \nb. Environmental Protection\nc. Site Security and Welfare \n2) Phase 2 \u2013 Arboriculture works and ground protection#\na. Vegetation removal\nb. Temporary road surface\n3) Phase 3 - Excavation, loading and waste treatment\na. Excavation and loading\nb. Haulage and waste disposal\n4) Phase 4 \u2013 Safe Site Reprofiling and Public Safety",
