4.  Allocation of Savings Made

Generally in PPP contracts, savings that have been realised historically (such as part of a debt refinancing) have been retained by the local public sector body and no share has been passed back to central government. Generally level playing field support would need to be substantially retained by Authorities to incentivise implementation, although there may be circumstances in which some contribution in the form of a reduction in SG budgetary support would be warranted.
