About DBFO's

Value for Money

Under each DBFO Contract the private sector assumes substantial risks, including those relating to designing, building and operating the road. The private sector is reasonably expected to be able to manage these risks better than the public sector under traditional methods of procurement. The placing of risk appropriately in this way is likely to provide better value for money than placing risks with those not well able to manage them. The fact that the procurement process for each scheme was highly competitive gives assurance that the terms obtained were the best obtainable from the market for deals of this type at the time.
