West London Waste Authority: "Eight tenderers long-listed for West London waste contract"

Link to WLWA

"The West London Waste Authority (WLWA) has long-listed a total of eight bidders for a long term residual waste treatment contract covering the boroughs of Brent, Ealing, Harrow, Hillingdon, Hounslow, and Richmond upon Thames.

  • Cory Environmental Ltd, 
  • Covanta Energy Ltd, 
  • E.ON Energy from Waste AG, 
  • FCC/Waste Recycling Group Ltd, 
  • SITA UK Ltd, 
  • Veolia ES Aurora Ltd, 
  • Viridor Waste Management Ltd, and 
  • Wheelabrator Technologies Incorporated 
will now be invited to develop outline solutions, as the next stage in the competitive dialogue process that is being employed.

The contract involves treating up to 300,000 tonnes of residual waste per year, generated by a population of 1.4 million people, and covers all aspects of treatment including any necessary transport, the operation of transfer stations, and contracts for outputs such as compost, refuse-derived fuel, recyclates etc.

Bids were invited from “single entity” companies, consortia, or joint ventures. The WLWA has offered the three waste transfer stations within its direct control as part of the procurement, but also welcomed proposals involving sites within bidders’ control, or which they intend to acquire.

Bidders will now be invited to present whatever proposals they feel are the most economically advantageous technology to meet WLWA’s output specification, but the authority is stipulating that the technology must be proven in operation on a municipal scale.

The next stage of the tender process will narrow bidders to three or four, that will present detailed solutions in the first part of 2012. Two final bidders will submit final tenders in Autumn 2012, and the preferred bidder will be selected in Spring 2013.
