Description
North London Waste Authority (NLWA) will be holding a market information day for the construction sector on 6 March 2018. This is for companies who want to be part of a project with a range of construction activities over the next 10 years. The work will deliver the North London Heat and Power Project (NLHPP) at the Edmonton EcoPark, a 16 hectare site in the Upper Lee Valley.
The components of the NLHPP are:
- an Energy Recovery Facility (ERF), to be located in the north of the site, which will treat up to 700,000 tonnes of residual waste a year and provide enough electricity to power over 127,000 homes, with some energy diverted to supply heat to local homes and businesses via a heat network;
- a Resource Recovery Facility (RRF), to be located in the south of the site, which is where bulky waste will be separated for recycling, and will also be the location of a recycling centre for the public and businesses from 2021;
- EcoPark House, located near the River Lee Navigation, which will contain office accommodation and a visitors' centre where people can find out more about recycling, waste, heat, and power; and
- demolition and removal of the existing Energy from Waste (EfW) facility, which will reach the end of its operational life around 2025.
The estimated capital costs for the project are around £650M.
In advance of the main construction activities listed above, a series of preparatory works will be required to prepare the site, provide new utilities and create new site access points. The purpose of the market information day is to explain in greater detail NLWA's proposals for the preparatory works packages, so that interested companies can engage as soon as practicable in the plans. Procurement of the later packages, including the ERF, RRF, and EcoPark House, will be subject to a separate market engagement exercise at a later date.
NLWA invites views from the supplier market on the proposed procurement strategy for the preparatory works and interfaces between the packages. NLWA is considering splitting some packages into lots, and industry views on this are welcome. We will also be keen to hear from the construction industry on ways in which the NLHPP can promote innovation, sustainability, and engagement with the local supply chain.
At this stage NLWA is primarily seeking to engage with main contractors. Potential subcontractors to these procurements are welcome to submit their company details to info@northlondonheatandpower.london if they wish for NLWA to pass them on to main contractors.
