  1. Hertfordshire Waste Procurement Programme – Progress Report Peter Davidson Programme Director 9 September 2009

  2. Current waste performance • 555,000 tonnes municipal waste per annum • 44% recycled or composted (household waste) • 50% to landfill, mostly outside Hertfordshire • 6% to Edmonton EfW • Costs over £50m per annum to collect and dispose • 25% of all Hertfordshire’s Waste

  3. The drivers for change • Landfill space running out – 1 left in County • Landfill Tax significantly increasing costs - £8 per tonne per year • Landfill Allowances + Trading Scheme sets maximum levels • Set against a background of increasing recycling – 50% by 2012

  4. The response • JMWMS 2007 – launched November 2007 • Feasibility study started November 2007 • Expression of Interest March 2008 • Outline Business Case October 2008 • £115 million of PFI credits allocated March 2009 • Solution needed by 2015

  5. The reference case for PFI Credits • 270,000 tonnes • Energy from Waste + Combined Heat and Power • County Council owned site at New Barnfield, South Hatfield • 2 transfer stations • 75,000 tonnes “potentially untreatable” waste

  6. What is required from the market • A solution to treat up to 270,000 + 75,000 tonnes of residual waste at 2039/40 • All of residual waste arisings • Technology neutral - solution will need to be long term, proven, flexible and reliable • CC owned site not mandatory • Recovery of energy – heat and/or electricity

  7. Progress to date • OJEU Notice published 9 April 2009 • Pre-Qualification Questionnaire • Bidders Day – 30+ Companies attended • 13 Applicants – large companies + consortia • International interest with a range of experience • 6 Applicants short-listed + Invited to Submit Outline Solution (s)

  8. Short-listed companies • Covanta • E.ON Energy from Waste AG (EEW) • MVV Umwelt GmbH • Shanks PFI Investments Ltd / Wheelabrator Technologies Inc • SITA UK Limited consortium • Veolia ES Aurora

  9. Competitive Dialogue timetable • Prescribed process – Public Contracts Regulations 2006 • Outline Solutions (ISOS) June – October 2009 • Detailed Solutions (ISDS) November 2009 – October 2010 • Final Tenders (CFT) October – December 2010 • Selection of Preferred Bidder April 2011 • Contract and Financial Close August 2011 • Town Planning May 2012 • Operational Plant April 2015

  10. Supporting work • Preparing New Barnfield as the reference site • CHP Feasibility Study • Securing transfer arrangements • Working with Hertfordshire Waste Partnership • Managing communications • Interim Waste Contract – less landfill, greater use of alternative treatments

  11. Key messages • County Council requires a cost-effective solution for the management of residual municipal waste • Procurement process is very prescribed • Dealing with commercially sensitive information • The Reference Case is a benchmark for evaluation • The market will provide the solution • The position may not become clear until Preferred Bidder appointed
