Description

Eastbourne Borough Council (EBC) is seeking a private sector partner (or partners) to participate and invest in a public private partnership which may also extend to other local government and public sector related organisations and associated partners within the local DNO region and the UK. Participation may be either by direct participation in the Joint Venture or through the provision of services, works or supplies by the Joint Venture. EBC wants to respond to the energy sector's trilemma of increasing prices, future shortage of supply, and the need to reduce carbon emissions. EBC also wants to be prepared for the challenges and uncertainty the food chain will face when major global food regions are under threat from extreme weather patterns. The JV arrangement may involve services, works or supplies being developed and delivered and commercial opportunities taken forward over the next 20 - 30 years in a number of sectors: Energy, Transport Food, Waste and Water.

The main place of performance will be the geographic areas of Kent, Surrey, Brighton and Hove, East Sussex and West Sussex (the 'JV Areas') but may extend to the UK over the life of the joint venture.

Further information about this opportunity and a complete list of the CPV codes covered by this notice and the public sector bodies who may participate in the JV can be found in the Contract Notice published in OJEU (reference 2016/S 105-187148) and related Corrigendum Notice.
