2.20 The Operational Taskforce is considering how best to help develop a competitive market in value testing by:
• setting up and administering a database of benchmark data and costs;
• online listing, where known, of the likely dates of value testing exercises in PFI contracts; and
• providing links to other sources of value testing data.
2.21 This work is still in the early stages of formation. Its success will depend on feedback and information from individual contract managers. Reliable feedback and communication from individual projects will allow the public and private sectors to make nationwide comparisons and ensure value for money for the taxpayer.
