1.3  The call for evidence

This document supports a broad based engagement process with interested parties, led by HM Treasury, to help bring forward proposals for a new approach to using the private sector in the delivery of public assets and services. In considering what the future model should be, it will be important to learn from the past while making full use of the wealth of experience that exists across the public and private sectors. We also want to learn from international best practice.

This document invites all parties with an interest in the delivery and financing of public assets and services to share their views on what reforms should be implemented for future projects. In particular, feedback is sought from industry participants with an active role in the delivery and operation of public facilities, from those with an interest in investing in these projects, as well as from across the public sector, academics, think tanks, employees and wider stakeholders.

Primary areas of focus for this call for evidence are set out in chapter 2 of this document, but views are welcomed on other issues, not limited to the questions highlighted. Further detail on how to participate in the call for evidence is set out in chapter 3.
