This recognised the need to address the widespread concerns with PFI – too slow and expensive; too inflexible and a lack of transparency. A new Public Private Partnership model to replace the PFI was announced in 2012, Private Finance 2 (PF2). Key features of the new PF2 model include the Government co-investing in projects as a minority shareholder to strengthen the partnership working and share in any returns and exclusion of 'soft' facilities management services such as cleaning and catering to improve flexibility.</p><p> </p><p>As part of the PFI review, the Coalition Government undertook to revise the value for money guidance. Further guidance was published in December 2012.</p> answering member constituency Ludlow answering member printed Mr Philip Dunne question first answered 18/07/2017 16:02:45 answering member 1542 label Biography information for Philip Dunne
