Details of the private finance initiative schemes overseen by the Department for Communities and Local Government are outlined on the following table. The unitary charge figures quoted are an estimate only and represent the projection of payments which are not just repayments for the capital value (sum of capital spend) of each project. Unitary Charge payments will frequently include; inflation, service provision, maintenance, capital repayments and lifecycle costs.
The contract length for the stated projects will vary from anything between 10 years and up to 30 years. The repayment term takes place within the term of each contract but this can vary from project to project as repayments are only made when projects become operational. Information on the period of repayments for each project is not held centrally and obtaining this information will incur disproportionate costs.
