13.2.1 Value for money and the PSC

One aspect of the value for money of PPP projects is calculated through a financial comparison with the Public Sector Comparator (PSC). The primary purpose of the PSC is to provide a financial benchmark against which to form a judgment on the quantitative elements of the bids.

In most instances, certain adjustments will be required to ensure that the financial comparison of the PSC and individual bids is on the same basis.
