NOTE

Where procurement is not complete by the end of December 2008, PfS's most recent estimate is used.

Manchester has been omitted from the analysis as it procured its partners before entering the BSF programme. Some of our survey data for the Group PFI schools is incomplete and does not show the date that the preferred bidder was selected.
