Pfi/Ppp and Property A Practical Guide

The aim of this book is to provide a practical guide to projects having a substantial real estate element: in order that the professional members of the project team on either the client side or that of the bidder may readily comprehend key issues from a property perspective. The author has drawn on his experience to offer suggestions as to how bid prospects may be improved. The guidance given should be invaluable to consortia, or component companies, which have yet to reach financial close on a range of projects. For those that have reached financial close and are versed in PFI procedures the book explores areas where affordability may be enhanced and value for money increased. (In certain areas of the public sector value for money has more correctly become best value.) Areas are also given over to discussing concepts like risk transfer together with other property-related issues. The author has worked on a large number of PFI projects. He is co-author of the RICS Guidance Notes and speaks widely on PFI topics at conferences and seminars.Blackwell, Martin is the author of 'Pfi/Ppp and Property A Practical Guide', published 2002 under ISBN 9780728203914 and ISBN 072820391X.
