8.9.1 Introduction 

 
 


There are causes of early termination as a result of the actions of the Contractor which may fall outside the definition of Contractor default and/or have their own compensation regimes.  In the WIDP Contract there are two examples:

a) corrupt gifts and fraud; and

b) breach of the refinancing provisions. 

The Contract Manager should ensure that all potential causes of early termination are widely understood within the project team and dealt with in the Contract Management Manual

PFI Projects

The Authority should notify Defra as soon as it reasonably expects the Contract to terminate for either corrupt gifts or breach of the refinancing provisions.  The Authority's ongoing entitlement to WI Credits will be reviewed in the light of the specific circumstances.
