Local Partnerships is hosting a webinar on 14 March from 11am-12pm to provide a practical insight into the key issues to consider when running through a PFI expiry process. The webinar is aimed at contract managers and individuals who have an operational focus.
There are currently over 700 operational PFI contracts, over 400 of these within local government. Each PFI contract has an end point, or expiry date. In the first part of this decade, over 50 operational PFI contracts will reach that expiry date, rising to around 200 contracts over the next 10 years.
Each PFI contract has an end point, or expiry date. In the first part of this decade, over 50 operational PFI contracts will reach that expiry date, rising to around 200 contracts over the next 10 years. The resources required to deal with these contracts will be substantial.
In June 2020, Local Partnerships produced guidance to help the public sector manage the PFI expiry process successfully. In November 2020, we followed this up with a webinar titled “Preparing for the expiry of private finance initiative projects” aimed at strategic decision makers. Since then, we have:
appeared as a witness at the Public Accounts Committee as to the preparedness of the public sector for PFI expiry
provided expert input into the Infrastructure and Projects Authority’s guidance on PFI expiry
reviewed 11 PFI contracts which are expiring within the next 7 years
provided targeted expiry support to the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority
undertaken bespoke reviews and support across expiry issues to numerous local authority clients
We are now revisiting this original webinar to reflect on the lessons that have already been learnt. The webinar will be delivered by Michael Berrington, Olly Mangiapane and Georgia Lewis from our PFI & PPP team. Michael is a financial advisor and Olly and Georgia are projects lawyers, all with two decades’ experience of advising on all aspects of PFI projects.
