6.27 The Government will continue to monitor the performance of the measures now in place, to ensure that:
• PFI workforces are adequately protected;
• the measures are being effectively implemented in PFI projects;
• the measures do not undermine the flexibility or quality of delivery of public services; and
• any disputes that may arise are quickly and equitably resolved.
6.28 To ensure that the value of money delivered by PFI does not come at the expense of employees' terms and conditions, Departments have the option of not transferring soft services staff in a PFI project, where they believe their transfer is not essential for achieving the overall benefits of improved standards of service delivery specified by the procurer, and where not transferring staff is consistent with delivering the Prime Minister's commitment to flexibility in public service provision.
