Treasury’s specialist Private Projects Branch will be the focal point for economic and financial assessment and advice on all PFPs and will assist Government agencies more generally. The Branch will ensure application of these Guidelines.
The Branch will also promote best-practice PFPs by absorbing and disseminating the lessons of experience and consulting with other Governments on their experiences and practices.
The Branch should be consulted at an early stage in the development of a PFP proposal. The Branch will normally draw on expertise from across the public sector, and the expert advice of private sector consultants when required.
