2.18 The Department drew attention to at least six other PFI projects that have been advertised to industry and abandoned prior to contract signature. These include the Airfield Support Service Project which was cancelled three and a half years after it was advertised to industry. In addition, the Department has recently announced it will not be pursuing a PFI solution for one of the two packages of the Defence Training Rationalisation Project, five and a half years after the project was advertised to industry. Other projects may also have been abandoned in the early phase of development or have been put on hold.
