4.1.4.  Preliminary Public Sector Comparator

PSCs are the main quantitative benchmark for testing value for money of PPP bids received during the procurement process. The preliminary PSC is developed before issuing an EOI, to quantify the contract value of the PPP project. The PSC will be refined as details of the project scope are defined and should be fully updated before accepting responses from RFP submissions. The development of the PSC is detailed in section 4.3.3 of the NSW Guidelines and Volume 4 of the National Guidelines.
