Overview

What this covers

• Heat Supply Agreement relating to South East London Combined Heat and Power District Heating Network

  Southwark Council (Council) and Veolia ES Southwark Limited (Veolia) entered into a PFI Project Agreement (Project Agreement) on 11 February 2008 for integrated waste management services for an initial term of 25 years. The procurement of the Project Agreement was conducted under the Public Services Contracts Regulations 1993 with a total value of £665,000,000.00. In 2013, the Council entered into a separate heat supply agreement (HSA1) with Veolia for heat supply services by means of a district heating network (Heat Network) to take waste heat from South East London Combined Heat and Power (SELCHP) to certain Council premises. The services in HSA1 were not included in the Project Agreement. HSA1 was entered into pursuant to the exemption set out in Regulation 14(1)(d)(i) of the (now repealed) Public Contracts Regulations 2006. This exemption allowed the Council to directly procure Veolia for the provision of heat supply services not included in the Project Agreement, which had subsequently become necessary due to unforeseen reasons. The HSA1 was entered into on 14 June 2013 and a related contract award notice was published on 3rd August 2013 (OJEU Reference Number: 2013/S 150-261592). The original term of the HSA1 as awarded was coterminous with the Project Agreement (i.e. expiring on 10 February 2033.
