Documents
Details
The government has announced that it will no longer use PF2, the current model of Private Finance Initiative (PFI) for new government projects. Existing PFI and PF2 contracts will not end because of this announcement.
Project governance guidance
This guidance provides a framework for authorities to think through project governance issues and how best to resolve them.
The roles of independent reviews (e.g. the Office of Government Commerce (OGC) Gateway reviews), the links to the formal project approval processes (e.g. the Project Review Group (PRG) for some Local Authority projects), and the impact of public sector issues are also included.
Guidance on using the competitive dialogue procedure
Our joint guidance with OGC helps contracting authorities with the competitive dialogue procedure, used when procuring complex projects. The guidance clarifies a number of issues, reducing the time and cost of public sector procurements.
HM Treasury review of competitive dialogue
This report was submitted as evidence to the ERG Lean Procurement Review for their consideration.
Managing complex capital investment programmes using private finance
This model provides guidance to departments on HM Treasury’s and NAO’s expectations of how they should manage their programmes involving PPP and PFI projects.
Joint venture guidance
This note looks at the issues associated with the creation and use of joint venture entities across the wider procurement spectrum.
Value for money assessment guidance
Procuring authorities should undertake project appraisals in accordance with the requirements of the Green Book. The value for money assessment guidance builds on this general approach for the specifics of public private partnership projects. The accompanying quantitative assessment tool was withdrawn with effect from 5 December 2012.
Procuring authorities should consider the existing value for money assessment guidance alongside the Green Book and the Infrastructure Procurement Routemap when undertaking the appraisal of PPP projects.
