Public Private Partnership: Difference between revisions

Partnership between local government and private companies to provide services to the community.

In its desire to stimulate investment in waste infrastructure, and underpin the diversion of [[BMW]] waste from [[Landfill]], the Government supported/subsidized a range of treatment technologies on a number of sites that were procured by [[Waste Disposal Authorities]] needing this infrastructure through a dedicated long term Private Finance Initiative (PFI). This arrangement has now ceased, several schemes which were to have been funded had their funding removed after [[DEFRA]] assessed <ref>[https://data.gov.uk/dataset/b99f22a0-e716-44bf-bff2-a12da2562e4f/waste-infrastructure-delivery-programme-widp-residual-waste-treatment-infrastructure-project-list-ipl [[DEFRA]] Waste Infrastructure Delivery Programme]</ref> that the [[BMW]] targets could be met with the infrastructure funded to that date, and several are currently being considered by [[Waste Disposal Authorities]] for movement out of PFI after consideration of the cost benefit of continuing with the contract and several that have been removed (i.e. Lancashire) or have had closed with major restructure (i.e. Sheffield and Greater Manchester).
