United Kingdom - Brent Council awards Veolia Environnement £142.3 million waste management contract

Veolia Environnement has been awarded the nine-year public realm contract by Brent Council, which will start in April 2014. The contract is valued at £142.3 million and has an option to extend for a further seven years.

The new contract comprises the services which Veolia has provided to the borough since 1992, including recycling and refuse collections, street cleansing and winter maintenance. In addition, the new contract includes the additional services of grounds maintenance of parks, open spaces and Brent Housing Partnership land.

Estelle Brachlianoff, Director UK and Northern Europe for Veolia Environnement, said:

"We have been in Brent for over twenty years, the first London borough contract we won and one of the first in the UK altogether. The special demands of Brent and its residents are complex and unique which made the winning of this contract particularly pleasing as we look to further develop the service on this valuable and prestigious contract."

 

Councillor Muhammed Butt, Brent Council Leader, said:

"This contract will deliver value for money for Brent's council tax payers as well as cleaner and greener public spaces and a lower carbon footprint for the borough. Most importantly it will help ensure Brent remains a place which résidents can take pride in. I look forward to working with the company on delivering this new contract."
