## Description
LRL (the "Authority") (formally Global Renewables Lancashire Operations Ltd) was established for the operation and management of two central waste treatment facilities. The
Authority'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
the company and its majority shareholder, Lancashire County Council.
The Authority currently employs approximately 180 staff across its two sites in several different role categories including operational, supervisory, professional, and administrative. The total number of staff employed by LRL is expected to increase to 250 by 2025 as the sites take on additional waste processing. 
The Authority requires agency workers to complement the existing workforce on project work as well as fill short-term vacancies at any given time. In addition, the Authority requires assistance with permanent recruitment from time to time. Both agency and permanent staff may be needed across all role categories and levels, from lower grades to senior management. For the most part, agency workers cover the operational roles throughout LRL
whereas permanent recruitment often covers roles of a technical or specialist nature.
The aim of this procurement project is to source and contract with a single supplier who can deliver the services. In doing so, the contracted supplier will be required to attend LRL's sites at Leyland and Thornton on a frequent basis to undertake the services. More detail isprovided in ITT Appendix 1 - Schedule 1 - Specification.
LRL's two sites are located as follows:
Environmental Education Centre & Farington Waste Recovery Park
Sustainability Way
Leyland
Lancashire
PR26 6TB
Thornton Waste Recovery Park
Enterprise Way
Fleetwood Road North
Thornton
Lancashire
FY7 8RY
Each waste treatment facility is designed to process and handle various municipal waste types arranged and supplied by Lancashire County Council and Blackpool Council.
The anticipated value of the Services is estimated at £450,000 per annum. Note that this value (and the anticipated total value) is inclusive of the salaries paid to agency workers as well as the employment agency's assignment fees. An estimated total value range is £1,800,000 - £3,600,000 over the entire maximum duration of the contract (48-month initial period with optional extension up to a further 24 months).
