The Transition Plan should include a section considering the interface issues between the waste PFI/PPP contract and other operationally linked Contracts such as waste collection arrangements, MRF treatment capacity and composting facilities. For example the reject fractions from a MRF Contract may currently go to landfill but could be processed by the PFI/PPP contractor as part of Contract Waste.
The interface issues may require intensive management towards the end of the Transition Period if there is a delay relatively near the anticipated Services Commencement Date for the PFI/PPP contract. For example an extended commissioning period will mean the Authority may need to rely on a landfill Contract for longer than expected.
