a common, standard method for comparing all public spending decisions that use central
government funding; the approach to appraising potential PPP projects is consistent
with this central guidance.</p><p> </p><p>The quantitative assessment tool was in
place from August 2004 until its withdrawal in December 2012, all projects which commenced
between these dates should have used the tool. For details of specific projects during
this period, please see the spreadsheet ‘Current projects as at 31 March 2014’ at

</p><p>A replacement quantitative assessment tool has not been issued by HM Treasury
due to the limitations of standard models; since December 2012 procuring authorities
have undertaken appropriate quantitative assessment in accordance with the principles
set out in the Green Book.</p>
