6.8 In many of the responses to the call for evidence, contractors and funders expressed concerns about the allocation of the risk of sites being contaminated by a source not on the site. Contractors and funders suggested that where the site has been provided by the authority the contractor is not in a position to do anything to manage the risk and hence transferring responsibility is not efficient risk allocation. In the future, under PF2, this risk will no longer be transferred to the private sector but will be held by the public sector.
