10. Acquisition teams should contact the MOD PFU early in their project's concept phase to assess whether PFI could be a suitable procurement approach for their project, whether further evaluation of the VfM potential is recommended, or whether PFI should be ruled out.
11. Project Teams pursuing a PFI procurement approach will be allocated a MOD PFU Project Support Officer (PSO) with whom regular contact should be maintained throughout the project's procurement, transition and operational phases. Further information on the role of the PSO and MOD PFU support to PFO projects is available on the MOD PFU website (see page 2 for link).
