Partnership between local government and private companies to provide services to the community.
In broad terms, [[PPP]] is a partnership between local government and private companies to provide services to the community.


In its desire to stimulate investment in waste infrastructure, and underpin the diversion of [[BMW]] waste from [[Landfill]], the Government supported/subsidized a range of treatment technologies on a number of sites that were procured by [[Waste Disposal Authorities]] needing this infrastructure through a dedicated long term Private Finance Initiative (PFI). This arrangement has now ceased, several schemes which were to have been funded had their funding removed after [[DEFRA]] assessed <ref>[https://data.gov.uk/dataset/b99f22a0-e716-44bf-bff2-a12da2562e4f/waste-infrastructure-delivery-programme-widp-residual-waste-treatment-infrastructure-project-list-ipl [[DEFRA]] Waste Infrastructure Delivery Programme]</ref> that the [[BMW]] targets could be met with the infrastructure funded to that date, and several are currently being considered by [[Waste Disposal Authorities]] for movement out of PFI after consideration of the cost benefit of continuing with the contract and several that have been removed (i.e. Lancashire) or have had closed with major restructure (i.e. Sheffield and Greater Manchester).
In the context of the waste and resources market in the UK, the [[PPP]] approach has been used by Government and the procuring [[Waste Disposal Authorities]] to stimulate investment in waste infrastructure, and underpin the diversion of [[BMW]] waste from [[Landfill]]. This was especially prevalent when the Government's support/subsidies through the alternative [[PFI]] approach came to an end. As a result of not being able to obtain [[PFI]] funding support, a [[PPP]] process has been followed by many [[Waste Disposal Authorities]], or consortium of them, where they have a need to deliver their waste disposal needs and a lack of funding to be able to deliver large infrastructure. The [[PPP]] approach in this context has used a similar contract format to the [[PFI]] approach, with the private companies using the tonnage commitment of the [[Waste Disposal Authorities]] over a long contract period to underwrite/secure the funding to build the necessary infrastructure.

Some [[PPP]] contracts are currently under review by [[Waste Disposal Authorities]] but more so for movement out of [[PFI]] after consideration of the cost benefit of continuing with the contract, and several have already been removed (i.e. Lancashire) or have had closed with major restructure (i.e. Sheffield and Greater Manchester).
