Public Project, Private Finance

Synopsis

Looks at the funding of public sector projects through the Private Finance Initiative (PFI). Public-sector project proposals cannot be considered without having arranged the project funding. The programme considers debt capital, risk, value for money, and equity capital, using case studies from two large projects: Altcourse prison and Calderdale Healthcare NHS Trust. Experts from PFI, academia, politics and lending institutions look at the complexities of decision-making in this area.

Notes

NB. As of May 2016 Open University Worldwide are no longer distributing DVDs. They have posted this message on their website: ‘Unfortunately Open University Worldwide Limited has decided that product sales are no longer viable given the reduced funding to Higher Education institutions and diminishing demand for the products we have traditionally stocked. At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
