Recently, the public sector has experienced challenges providing public services due to the lack of resources. Through partnering with private sector organizations, the public sector potentially could continue to provide such services at a lower cost and with greater innovation.

By conducting a PCC including all costs appropriately, including potential risks, the public sector will adequately be able to compare public sector versus private sector provision.
