3.2 In our report, "Managing the relationship to secure a successful partnership in PFI projects"11, we said that the parties to a PFI contract needed a single business focus so that each could achieve its respective objectives. This required both parties to understand their respective objectives, to assess the prospects for a partnership, and to have made efforts to understand each other's business. In this case NS&I and SBS have needed to make a number of changes to achieve such a single focus.
