@tomsocr Thank you for your message, Craig and apologies. We'll take a look into the issue.
The @NAOorguk published a report today on the expiry of PFI contracts. We have produced "Preparing for the expiry of Private Finance Initiative Contracts". The guidance can help you manage this process successfully. #READ here: https://t.co/NTG3BHfTOJ

... @SedgemoorDC, @SomersetCouncil, @sgloscouncil, @SouthHams_DC, @Southsomersetdc, @SWTCouncil, @Torbay_Council, @torridgedc, @WestDevon_BC, @wiltscouncil #WasteEfficiencies #LocalGov #CouncilsCan
Many thanks to the 25 authorities that participated in the review: @bathnes, @BristolCouncil, @BCPCouncil, @CheltenhamBC,@CotswoldDC, @CornwallCouncil, @DevonCC, @DorsetCouncilUK, @ExeterCouncil, @FoDDC, @GlosCC, @MendipCouncil, @MidDevonDC, @ndevoncouncil, @NorthSomersetC ...
In addition, the report found that addressing the #ClimateCrisis has surfaced as a far higher priority for #authorities than noted in previous waste efficiency reports. View the report here: https://t.co/EgRNEg82p8
This figure includes charging for non-statutory services such as green collection. The report found securing savings remains a driver for local authorities to achieve efficiencies whilst maintaining high-quality public services, and performance enhancement wherever possible.

We are doing everything we can to provide support to hard-working colleagues in the #publicsector. We have received a number of enquiries in relation to the complex contracting landscape that has been affected by the #COVID19 outbreak.
