Private Finance Initiative and Public Private Partnerships

The total level of available government funding for infrastructure replacement via PFI now exceeds £13.5bn. This record level of investment is creating enormous opportunities for public sector organisations to replace existing assets and a strong flow of potential deals for private sector firms to provide investment and services to. BDO has recently established a PFI and PPP advisory service working for both investors in PFI and public sector organisations procuring contracts.

Our team members have been involved in PFI since its inception in the mid 1990s and have a wealth of experience in advising on over 50 deals ranging in size from £5m to £100m capital value. They have particular expertise in the use of private sector funding for:

  • Waste management
  • Social care
  • Leisure
  • Education
  • Social housing
  • Accommodation

They specialise in advising clients on:

  • Feasibility studies and Outline Business Cases (OBC)
  • Contract documentation
  • Financial modelling
  • Payment mechanisms and risk allocation
  • Contract negotiation.
