Value for Money Edward Farquharson 12 May 2010

Agenda Development of the UK’s approach to ex ante VfM assessment Ex post VfM assessment Some observations

Previous UK Approach Numerically based system Public Sector Comparator (PSC): –Same outputs as specified for the PFI/PPP project –Appropriate costing –Retained risks are explicitly identified and quantified (expected value) –Resulting cash-flows turned into a Net Present Value (NPV) –PSC NPV compared with NPV of the PFI/PPP unitary charge PSC also helps to estimate: –indicative project costs (as a benchmark for affordability) –the value of risks - retained and transferred

Public Sector Comparator Methodology Advantages – helpful with political /public perception/ presentation issues Challenges: –Timing of final output does not help with decision making process –Reliant on a single-point, cost-based test using Net Present Values –Needs empirical data and sector experience (limited at start of programme) –Reliant on assumptions that can be manipulated –Danger of double counting

UK’s Revised Approach (2006) A phased assessment conducted in 3 stages: Programme level –Suitability of using private finance Project level (pre-market launch) –The main decision point Procurement level –A check that procurement will deliver the forecast VfM benefits

UK’s Revised Approach - Methodology VfM is a concept that compares options Balance between qualitative and quantitative assessment Considers project and market features Embeds an evidence-based approach Uses generic quantitative models for the PSC Affordability and Compliance are constraints

Revised approach - Qualitative Assessment Viability –Measurable and definable outputs, clear scope –Operational flexibility –Equity/efficiency reasons for private sector service provision Desirability –Do the benefits outweigh the costs? Achievability –Market interest, time scales

Revised approach - Quantitative Assessment Identify cost inputs Adjust costs for Optimism Bias Factor in finance cost assumptions Adjust for: Flexibility Tax Life cycle investment

Observations PPPs can deliver benefits, but not suitable at any price or in every circumstance. PPP projects normally deliver what is asked of them. Justifications for PPP may be unclear: use of questionable quantitative analysis. Institutional incentives may encourage the use of PPP. Evaluation of PPP: benefits assumptions, comparative data. Competition is vital Delivery of real risk transfer depends on a good contract. Private finance projects require very careful project management. Political will

Capturing Non-financial benefits? Accelerated delivery: receiving benefits earlier Enhanced delivery eg better asset condition, design, outcomes –For renewed schools that were fully rebuilt via a PPP, educational attainment improved at a rate that was over 90% faster than in fully rebuilt conventionally financed schools Wider societal benefits: e.g. greater cost transparency, procurement disciplines
