The EHC process provides a contracting authority with:
1. An expert and structured review of its preparedness for expiry.
2. Clear recommendations of actions to improve their readiness for expiry and reduce the associated risk.
3. A route to further IPA support where this would be beneficial and available.
The IPA collates the outputs from EHC to:
1. Identify common themes and trends across the portfolio with the analysis being incorporated into its PFI Expiry Health Check Learning Report.
2. Update Ministers and senior officials of the status of projects in the expiry phase and the key risks and issues.
3. Inform the wider PFI Contract Management Programme to ensure lessons are incorporated into future project support initiatives by the IPA and sponsoring departments.
