15.6  Cost-sharing arrangements

The service fee will be adjusted upwards or downwards to reflect the change in market prices for the provision of the Reviewable Services arising out of the review. Whether government will fully bear the change in the cost of the Reviewable Services, share the change in cost, or share the change in cost above a percentage difference threshold will be dependent on the specific project, government's appetite for risk and value for money considerations.  

Although government understands the need to share such cost increases, it must also ensure that the private party has the incentive to continually control its cost and to mitigate against any cost increases.
