The objective of the Private Finance Initiative (PFI) is to secure the best possible value for money for the taxpayer through the involvement of the private sector in the delivery of services to, or on behalf of, the public sector, where the delivery of these services involves a significant capital spend. This document provides guidance on the way in which the government's PFI can be applied to government office accommodation projects. The main sections describe the commercial structure of PFI accommodation projects and the respective roles of public and private sector in the allocation of risk and responsibilities, and an outline of the process for procuring government office accommodation through the PFI route.

The Private Finance Initiative (PFI) is a major form of Government procurement for a wide range of public services, including hospitals, prisons, roads, computer systems and government accommodation. There are over 400 PFI contracts currently in force which commit departments to future expenditure of about £100 billion. This report highlights key issues which authorities need to consider when developing and managing relationships with PFI contractors. It is based on a survey of 121 central government PFI projects in progress. The survey was undertaken in 2000 and included the views of authorities and contractors. Key recommendations made include: the importance of a partnership approach between authorities and contractors; authorities should give attention at an early stage in the procurement process to contract management issues; and the need for appropriate procedures for dealing with contract changes.

Lessons from the experience of using PFI can be applied to improve other forms of procurement and help Government achieve its aim of securing annual infrastructure delivery cost savings of £2 billion to £3 billion. To secure the best value for money from all types of procurement, the public sector needs to develop skills the NAO has identified. These are collecting better data to inform decision-making; ensuring projects have the right skills; establishing effective arrangements to test, challenge and, if necessary, stop projects; and using commercial awareness to obtain better deals. The case for using private finance in public procurement needs to be challenged more. Also, privately financed projects will often still be off balance-sheet which may continue to act as an incentive to use PFI. There has not been a systematic value for money evaluation of operational PFI projects by departments. So there is insufficient data to demonstrate whether the use of private finance has led to better or worse value for money than other forms of procurement. The Treasury and departments should identify alternative methods for delivering infrastructure and related facilities services to maximise value for money for government. The NAO welcomes the current plans of the Treasury and Cabinet Office to strengthen project assurance. The report highlights the need for independent challenge capable of stopping projects which do not give the prospect of value for money. This is particularly important as there is still a shortage of the skills needed to manage and oversee complex major projects.

The Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) provides intelligence services for the Government. This report examines the Private Finance Initiative (PFI) contract, agreed in 1997, to build and service new accommodation on a single site for a 30-year period, and estimated to be worth £489 million. GCHQ's complex computer systems will need to be moved to the new building in a process known as technical transition, and although this process is not part of the PFI deal, it will need to be carefully co-ordinated with the move into the new building. The report concludes that the real costs of technical transition have proved to be much higher than originally expected, and prompted a review of the PFI deal. However, the programme, as now conceived, is now on track to be delivered on time and within its finally determined budget. Recommendations for the future include that, when a Government department is considering major investment in new accommodation and services, it is essential that the full scope of the requirement is properly determined from the outset. In this case, GCHQ failed to consider all the implications of the fact that it was relocating its entire business capability to a new building and that technical transition was a major factor.

This report, from the National Audit Office (HCP 71, session 2010-11, ISBN 9780102965285), looks at PFI in Housing. The use of PFI by local authorities to improve housing, usually in areas with a high need for housing and where the stock condition is particularly poor, has had a measure of success, but risks to value for money of the programme have not been managed. In the context of this programme, PFI has been a flexible and useful funding route for local authorities to improve existing housing and build new stock. However, the majority of projects required significant increases in central funding prior to contract signature and all have suffered delays. Twenty one of the 25 projects which have been signed to date have experienced cost increases, with 12 of these over 100 per cent. All signed projects, for which the NAO was able to obtain data, were delayed, on average by 2 years and 6 months. For early projects this was partly because PFI was new to the housing sector and the Department for Communities and Local Government had to develop its understanding of stock condition issues. Also, the Department's management for early projects was also weak and under-resourced. While the capital cost of PFI housing projects is similar to other developments, the Department's evaluation to date has not taken account of the full costs. Procurement also tends to take more time, which can increase procurement and tender costs for local authorities and bidders.

The Department of Health and the Department for Communities and Local Government (the Departments) are responsible for sizeable portfolios of PFI projects covering hospitals and social housing. By April 2009 there were 76 operational PFI hospitals in England and over 13,000 homes had been built or refurbished through PFI. The letting of contracts and the responsibility for managing them is devolved to NHS Trusts and local authorities. The Departments are responsible for overseeing their PFI programmes and reporting to the public and Parliament on value for money. The Committee can find no clear and explicit justification and evaluation for the use of PFI in terms of its value for money. In many cases local authorities and Trusts chose the PFI route because the Departments offered no realistic funding alternative. Other concerns are central government's failure to use the market leverage that comes from overseeing multiple contracts, and the lack of robust central data to support effective programme management. It is clear that the implementation of PFI projects could be improved. Many PFI housing procurements have taken very much longer, and cost a great deal more, than originally planned. On hospitals, most are receiving the services expected at the point contracts were signed and are generally being well managed. There are, however, wide and unexplained variations in the cost of hospital support services, such as cleaning, catering and portering. Departments are not using their own buying power to leverage gains for the taxpayer.
