RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Development and Maintenance of a Robust Public Sector Comparator JF The Journal of Structured Finance FD Institutional Investor Journals SP 86 OP 95 DO 10.3905/jsf.2004.86 VO 10 IS 1 A1 Douglas Lamb A1 Anthony Merna YR 2004 UL https://pm-research.com/content/10/1/86.abstract AB Privately financed projects (PFPs) are accepted as a viable alternative to traditionally publicly delivered service. This article describes a mechanism for the development and maintenance of a robust public sector comparator (PSC) model, linking the PSC to a typical privately financed procurement process and its value and risk management techniques. Finally the article outlines how the PSC can be used and maintained to support the contract negotiation phase of PFPs through a quantitative value for money (VFM) assessment. The aim of the robust PSC is to show the impact of a PFP on VFM.
