Role for PFI and Partnerships • New options for service delivery • Opportunities for step change in services • Encourages focus on outcomes and outputs • Integration of design, build and operations • Additional source of funding • Best value
Emerging Issues • Value for money is proven in many sectors • Deal flow developing through bidding rounds • Project values are increasing • Bidders may avoid difficult sectors • Innovation is happening…but slowly • Projects are taking too long to deliver • Deficiencies in estimation of project costs • New joint venture approaches
Challenges and Obstacles • Procurement capacity in local government • Opportunities for sharing authority resources • Costing and optimism bias • Standardisation and project documentation • Design and sustainability • Revenue support arrangements • Central government arrangements
Lessons • Importance of sound ‘business case’ • Involve private sector at an early stage • Ensure that there is capacity to deliver • Use experience from operational project directors • Prepare - understand the key stages in the process • Use advice sensibly • Be realistic – costing, timetabling, bidder requirements
