| Waste companies await decision on Greater Manchester PFI |
|
The four waste firms bidding for the UK's largest ever municipal waste management contract will find out next week if they are still in the running.
One or more of the four companies – Shanks, SITA UK, WRG and Viridor – look likely to have proposals for the multi-billion pound Greater Manchester PFI deal rejected.
Officers from the Greater Manchester Waste Disposal Authority are to submit their recommendations to the full authority on Tuesday (May 2) in an attempt to cut down the shortlist for the contract.
The Authority, which runs waste disposal services for the metropolitan boroughs of Bolton, Bury, Manchester city, Oldham, Rochdale, Salford, Stockport, Tamesire and Trafford, has £100 million in government PFI credits to support the contract.
The 25-year contract is expected to begin on April 1 2007.
The GMWDA is remaining tight-lipped concerning its recommendations at this stage, particularly because of difficulties suffered by Cornwall county council when information leaked from the procurement process for its PFI contract. |
