    Description
    Objectives

    Design, building, financing and operation of a new wastewater treatment plant and subsequent upgrading of an existing plant in the Hague region. The project is being implemented via a PPP arrangement, which passes operation of the bulk wastewater system and all operational performance risk to a private company.

    The objective of the project is to achieve wastewater collection, transport, treatment and disposal standards for The Hague region.

    Environmental aspects
    Procurement

    The Project involves the construction of the new Harnaschpolder tertiary wastewater treatment plant (WWTP), and subsequent upgrading of the existing Houtrust WWTP. The project will ensure compliance with EU Directives and produce significant environmental benefits by reducing pollution loads and frequency of raw sewage spills to the North Sea.

    Procurement is carried out in compliance with EU Directives. The Tender Procedure was a “negotiated procedure”, with a pre-qualification announcement published in the EC-OJ in 1999, in accordance with European Works Directive (93/37/EEC, as amended by 97/52/EC).
