Cooperating as partners makes it easier to realise projects and is beneficial for both parties
With tasks being divided up in the best possible way, our cooperation model creates numerous advantages. Its key benefits: long-term plans can be drawn up and risks are minimised. By founding a joint venture between the municipal partner and REMONDIS Aqua, the local authorities maintain their influence over the business and yet directly benefit from the success of the company. In the majority of cases, the municipal share in the business is between 25.1% and 74.9%. This provides a stable and sustainable concept from which the local authorities can only benefit.
With our cooperation model, you benefit from a comprehensive package of services
For the most part, the local authorities own a majority share in the joint venture that is founded as part of the cooperation model. This new company becomes the owner of the fixed assets and so is responsible for planning and financing new investments and renovation work. The rights and obligations of the joint venture are stipulated in a service agreement which is agreed on with the municipal client.
Besides owning a share in the newly founded company, REMONDIS Aqua can also take over responsibility for operations management as part of the cooperation model. In such cases, an additional operations management company can be set up. Here, though, the operations management contract is not concluded with the local authorities but with the joint venture. As well as operating and maintaining the facilities, we can also take over all commercial responsibilities.
