Description
Essex County Council (the Authority) seeks to award a contract for the management of the landfill gas at Bellhouse Closed Landfill Site and generation of energy from landfill gas from the Site. The successful bidder must be able to meet the Authority's timeline for the commencement of energy generation - there is a 20-week implementation and mobilisation timeline against which bidders will be required to bid. In return for the licence and access to the landfill gas, the successful bidder will be required to pay the Authority a 90% share of any gross income received by the bidder from any Renewable Obligation Certificates and a royalty based on the percentage of gross electricity sales revenue. Additional services may be added to this contract in order to better utilise the resources in relation to the landfill site and/or to maximise any spare capacity which can be exported to the electricity grid network.
Site visits are invited by appointment only to be arranged with the Authority during the tender process.
