Southwark Council (Council) and Veolia ES Southwark Limited (Veolia) entered into a PFI Project Agreement (Project Agreement) on 11 February 2008 for integrated waste management services for an initial term of [25] years . The procurement of the Project Agreement was conducted under the Public Services Contracts Regulations 1993 with a total value of 665,000,000.00 GBP.
In 2013, the Council entered into a separate heat supply agreement (HSA1) with Veolia for heat supply services by means of a district heating network (Heat Network) to take waste heat from South East London Combined Heat and Power (SELCHP) to certain Council premises. The services in HSA1 were not included in the Project Agreement. HSA1 was entered into pursuant to the exemption set out in Regulation 14(1)(d)(i) of the (now repealed) Public Contracts Regulations 2006. This exemption allowed the Council to directly procure Veolia for the provision of heat supply services not included in the Project Agreement, which had subsequently become necessary due to unforeseen reasons. The HSA1 was entered into on 14 June 2013 and a related contract award notice was published on 3rd August 2013 (OJEU Reference Number: 2013/S 150-261592 ). The original term of the HSA1 as awarded was coterminous with the Project Agreement (i.e. expiring on 10 February 2033 .
HSA1 is due to expire on 10 February 2033.
The Council is now proposing to make the following modifications to the HSA1 via a Deed of Variation:
1) an extension to the geographical coverage and extent of the Heat Network so that it [includes/covers [insert details]some areas within the wards of Old Kent Road, Nunhead & Queen's Road, Peckham, Rye Lane and St Giles (Geographical Coverage Modification); and
2) an extension to the duration of the contract so that instead of expiring on 10 February 2033 it will expire on 31 March 2050 (Duration Modification).
Further information regarding the Geographical Coverage Modification can be found in a map (Figure 1 on page 5) within the Council's published governance document to be found on the Council's website here:

The Council considers that it is entitled to rely upon Regulation 88(1)(b) of the Utilities Contracts Regulations 2016 (UCR) to modify the HSA1 to incorporate the Geographical Coverage Modification and Duration Modification without requiring a new procurement procedure for the reasons set out in Annex D2.
The Council will not enter into the Deed of Variation until the expiry of at least 30 days from the publication of this notice.
