The subject of the contract is the provision of the services of operation, conservation, maintenance and repairs of the wastewater treatment plant of Villalonquejar, the removal and management of the sludge produced in the facility. The Contractor will, therefore, be solely responsible for the purification processes of the WWTP under its charge and for compliance with the conditions required in the discharge permit, as well as for compliance with the applicable legislation regarding the application of sludge from urban wastewater treatment in agriculture. The contract includes, as a differentiated service, the concepts of "Major Repairs" and Initial Adaptation Investment, as, although they are maintenance services, they can be considered as investment, and, therefore, require separate accounting and a differentiated VAT percentage to be applied to the rest of the service provision contract.
