The majority of PFI projects have been delivered on or close to price

41  Ninety four per cent of projects responding to our 2008 survey were reported to have been delivered on, or less than five per cent over, price. The remaining six per cent reported price increases of five per cent and over. One project reported delivery at less than the contracted price, which was because of public sector initiated changes which reduced the price (Figure 8).
