|
| Impact On | Construction timetable and cost
|
| Commentary | PSC: Construction costs in the FBC are based on a standard variation of price government contract. It could change as the design and the programme are developed, or if problems arise.
PFI: The construction cost is a fixed price turnkey price. The risk of changes in cost, during the construction phase, is transferred in full to the private sector.
|
| Risk Retained by Trust | PSC: 100 per cent
PFI: 0 per cent
|
| Estimated Cost of Risk | PSC: £1,323,000
PFI: £0
|
| Overall Probability | 25 per cent
|
| Timing | Risk is apparent throughout the construction period - Years 1 and 2
|
| Evidence for assumptions | PSC: Experience shows that contract prices are not the final price paid by the trust. The original estimate may be higher or lower than the final contract sum.
