The Unit has responsibility for implementing value for money PPP and PFI policy and influencing wider commercial policy.
* The Department ensures PPP and PFI activity is coordinated, although not necessarily by a single Unit. The Department assesses VFM of the use of private finance on a sector-by-sector basis.
** There is a single Unit that manages major PPP and PFI investment. The Unit consolidates and reviews lessons learned from individual projects to influence changes to wider commercial policy and guidance.
*** The Unit helps to set the Department's strategic direction for the use of PPP and PFI investment and its approach to other forms of complex procurement. For example, by defining how and when PFI credits should be allocated. It ensures that sector-specific and general delivery issues are fed into HM Treasury's development of general PPP and PFI policy.
