Renegotiating PPP/PFI Projects to Achieve Better Value for Money

3 March 2011

The Government has moved quickly to engage with private sector suppliers to the public sector, following the announcement of major budget cuts in the CSR, with a view to reducing costs.  This strategy has been led by the Efficiency and Reform Group within the Cabinet Office, and has focused initially on the larger service contracts (outsourcing etc).  The Efficiency and Reform Group is now turning its attention to PFI/PPP contracts and will apply the lessons it has learned from its experience of negotiating on service contracts to this area.  At the same time, Infrastructure UK is planning to publish official guidance on how to renegotiate PFI/PPP contracts shortly.

This highly topical conference, ‘Renegotiating of PPP/PFI Projects To Achieve Better Value for Money’, will provide delegates from the public sector with a detailed guide as to how to renegotiate PFI/PPP projects and, in particular, how to apply the Infrastructure UK Guidance and how the Efficiency and Reform Group in the Cabinet Office may be able to assist them.  The expert speaker faculty will run through all the issues that negotiators on both the public and private sector sides will face during the renegotiation process.

We are delighted that Adrian Kamellard, Contract Renegotiation Team Leader, Efficiency and Reform Group at the Cabinet Office*, David MacGray, Senior PPP Financing Adviser at Infrastructure UK and David Finlay, Director, National Audit Office Corporate Finance and Infrastructure Team have agreed to speak at the conference.
