1.6 In our census the capital values of the Department's PFI projects (the cost of building the asset as opposed to delivering the service) varied from zero (where the PFI contractor is taking over the operation of an existing asset) to £1.3 billion (Figure 7 on page 20). Over half of the 47 projects had a capital value of £50 million or less but the remaining larger contracts contributed to around 83 per cent of the Department's PFI payments of £1.1 billion in 2006-07.
