Early re-negotiation of contracts

116. There may be circumstances under the proposed system where it would be beneficial to renegotiate a contract with a relevant contractor before it ends. For example, this could be to bring staff back into the LGPS early where a broadly comparable scheme is currently being used. In these renegotiations, it would be the responsibility of the parties involved to seek advice on their legal rights and obligations. 

Q29 – Do you agree with the approach of including a mechanism in the draft regulations that allows for staff to become protected transferees where there is an early re-negotiation of a service contract using the new Fair Deal regulations?
