Evaluation Framework

In 2006, we published our updated approach for assessing whether PFI projects are being implemented well, across all phases of the project life-cycle, according to a set of key business-management imperatives.

This report is in two parts. Volume 1 sets out how the framework can be applied by project managers, Private Finance Units and external evaluators and summarises the main criteria by which projects are judged in each life-cycle phase. Volume 2 provides a greater level of detail for each of the criteria set out in Volume 1 and includes a table that maps the evaluation framework to existing guidance.

The two parts of the report can be downloaded by clicking on the links below:
