Transactors provide direct support to projects and are provided by WIDP under contract with Partnerships UK and the 4ps. Prior to the focus group a short survey was circulated, which was used to distil the key issues and topics to cover. Fifteen delegates attended the group (13 Transactors and two trainee Transactors), which was facilitated by two members of the NAO Private Finance Practice. The group was held at the Transactors' annual away day at the Institute of Directors, in Reading.
