How do I implement temporary contractual arrangements?
The Government expects the use of bespoke contractual documents to implement temporary arrangements relating to your PFI contracts.

- The temporary nature of the measures
- The requirement for best efforts on behalf of the PFI Contractor
- The importance of continued health and safety measures at all times
