## Description
Somerset County Council (“Council”) awarded a contract to Viridor Waste Management Limited (“Viridor”) in 2006 following a procurement for project management services for the delivery of the Council’s municipal waste strategy and its landfill directive obligations to divert biodegradable municipal waste from landfill (the “Contract”). The procurement was advertised in OJEU Contract Notice (2004/S 204-174980). This also encompassed the delivery of waste services and development of new waste treatment facilities - details can be found in the OJEU Contract Notice.
Viridor has subsequently changed its name to Valencia Waste Management Limited “(VWML”).
The Council is intending to enter into a novation agreement with Syracuse Waste Limited (No. 13269384) (“Syracuse”) which is a contractor successor to VWML. This will result in Syracuse replacing VWML as the party to the Contract for the remainder of the term.
