9.4 For most PFI contracts, the Government's direct role in raising the finance for a PFI project is limited although there can be exceptions in unusual or particularly complex schemes. It is the responsibility of the PFI contractor to put in place its own financing arrangements to fund the investment required by the PFI project. It is recognised that each PFI contractor has its own relationships with sources of private sector finance, which it may wish to use throughout its portfolio of projects. It is also important to ensure that the private sector funders do not infer from any Government involvement in this aspect of the PFI project that it is in any way underwriting the finance raised. The key role of the Government is to set the terms of the competition for the PFI project, which gives the private sector the right incentives to obtain the best value for money, including in terms of the finance secured in the PFI contract.
