Since 2006 WIDP has retained a pool of Transactors to support Authorities procuring residual waste management treatment facilities through a PFI or PPP structure. As those procurements have reached financial close those Transactors have been allocated to work with Authorities in the post close period. The role of the Transactor in the post close period is set out in a Memorandum of Understanding that WIDP would wish to sign with any Authority wanting to have dedicated Transactor support. This support will be available from the date of financial close until 15 months after Service Commencement.
Authorities which are not eligible to have a WIDP Transactor assigned to their project are still encouraged to contact WIDP for assistance if they face major issues in relation to contract management or are researching information on best practice. Such Authorities remain eligible to access all the other sources of support offered by WIDP (see below).
