Project Initiation
Both the government and a private company can initiate a PPP project
Solicited Projects A solicited project is that the competent authority identifies a project for
private investment and announces a RFP Competent authorities develop a potential project after considering re-
lated plans and demands for the facility. They then weight the pro-curement options in order to determine whether the PPP procurement is more efficient than the conventional procurement
Unsolicited Projects For an unsolicited project, a private company (project proponent) sub-
mits a project proposal, and then the competent authority examines and evaluates the contents and value for money of the private pro-posal, and designates it as a PPP project

Procurement Steps of an Unsolicited Project
What is Value for Money?
The best available outcome after taking account of all benefits, costs and risk over the whole life of the project (HM TREASURY)
Not lowest price
Why it is Used?
Seek the best use of available resources
Efficient and effective public service delivery
“ The competent authority uses VFM reports as basic material to make a judgment on whether to move forward with the PPP project proposed by the private proponent” according to the Article 7, Paragraph 3 of the En-forcement Decree of the PPP Act
7
The VFM Concept
VFM is often a comparative assessment Requires a benchmark cost : PSC (Public Sector Comparator)
PSC is a benchmarking and evaluation tool : a Key tool Benchmarks the cost of government service delivery Evaluates whether VFM is delivered from bids
A Procurement principle, not only for PPP
Adopted by different countries to meet government’s pro-curement practices
Not a universal tool
Applied on a project or program basis
Innovation, asset utilization, risk sharing, competition, ser-vice integration ate main key drivers of VFM
Presence of VFM drivers confirms suitability for PPP8
Key Elements of VFM
Promote whole life costing early in the project’s development
Assist in assessing the project affordability
Provide a means for demonstrating VFM Provide a consistent benchmarking and evaluation tool
Encourage bidding competition
Based on : Reference Project Risk analysis Cash flow over the life of the project (inflation, cost, revenue, discount
rate..) Government procurement costs to asses project affordability

PIMAC of KDI is in charge of VfM test as stipulated by the PPP Act
VfM test is carried out in accordance with ‘Guidelines for im-plementation of VfM Test/Review of Proposal for unsolicited BTO projects’.
Five interim review meetings are held during the VfM test
The duration of each project research should take up to six months
Same methodology and procedure are applied both to VfM Test and Review of Proposal
Objectivity, consistency, independence as well as profes-sional expertise are important elements in conducting VfM tests.
Implementation
13
A VfM test is carried out by a multi-disciplinary research team
KDI (Project Manager) Experts with relevant skills and expertise for the project are selected at
the preliminary stage
External experts (selected from human resource pool) Demand forecasting : university professors Cost estimation: engineering companies Accounting: accounting firms
Organization of a Research Team
14
Phase 1: Feasibility study (Decision to Invest) The cost- benefit analysis is conducted to determine feasibility of the
project from a national economy perspective.
Phase 2: Value for Money Assessment (Decision on PFI) The government payment of PSC (Public Sector Comparator) is com-
pared against that of PFI (Private Finance Initiative) to assess whether the PFI achieves VfM.
Phase 3: Formulation of PFI alternatives Based on the results of phase 2, an appropriate PFI alternatives are for-
mulated The level of project cost, user fee, subsidy scale, etc. are suggested from
the government.
Phase 4: Award bonus points to the initial proponent Bonus points (10% max.) awarded to the initial proponent are estimated
based on the results of VfM tests and the quality of the proposal.

Flowchart of a VFM Test (Solicited Project)
19
Assess project feasibility and necessity in the context of na-tional economy and policy directions
Cost-benefit analysis method is used to assess the economic feasibility of a project
CBA is conducted in accordance with sectoral guidelines (e.g. roads, railroads, ports, seaports, dams, and environment facilities) for PFS (Preliminary Feasibility Study)
B/C ratios calculated based on Estimation of demand, costs, and bene-
fits Sensitivity analysis
Policy analyses, if necessary, are carried out
Phase 1: Feasibility Study (1)
20
Setting a PSC (Public Sector Comparator) Setting an appropriate PSC option is very important both to feasibility and
VfM of a project
A basic assumption of VfM test (including FS) is that the same level of service will be provided by both PSC and PFI options
In reality, a PSC option that is compatible with PFI proposal is formulated
Total, (risk adjusted) whole-of-life cost of the project is esti-mated if government is to undertake the project.
User fee and project cost of PSC are not necessarily same as those of PFI
The user fee of PFI is usually larger than that of PSC
Phase 1: Feasibility Study (2)
21
Policy analyses are carried out if necessary Evaluation in qualitative/quantitative terms whether the project is justified
in relation to relevant policy issues Relevant policy issues: balanced regional development; consistency with
higher level plan and policy directions; and environment impact analysis, etc.
The overall feasibility of a project is assessed based on eco-nomic and policy analyses
If the FS results demonstrate that the project is feasible, then VfM assessment ensues.
If not, the VfM test process as a whole is suspended, and PIMAC recom-mends the Competent Authority to reject the project proposal.
Phase 1: Feasibility Study (3)
22
Government spending of the PSC is compared against gov-ernment payment requested by PFI proposal to assess if PPP procurement improves the value of tax payer’s money
Features of VfM assessment It assists government making decision on appropriate procurement op-
tions: conventional public procurement vs. PPP procurement. It provides a quantitative VfM level and a justification for the decision
on procurement option. It provides a reliable benchmark and specifies project scope. It encourages project appraiser to consider risks early in the project
lifecycle, and address risk transfer options in the bidding process. It reduces negotiation time and increases the efficiency of bidding
costs as the scope of private sector bids are more aligned with the public sector needs, and risk transfer profiles.
Phase 2: VFM Assessment (1)
23
Cost items adjusted for competitive neutrality between PSC and PFI options
Revenue from user fee is deducted from government payment of PSC
Revenue from supplementary project is taken into account in consider-ation of both options
VAT and other tax payments are adjusted Same amount and payment schedule of land acquisition is applied to
both options Administrative costs incurred by governments for project management
are excluded from both options Insurance fee are estimated in different ways, reflecting the difference
in market valuation of project risk by project owners
Additional government support if requested by private company is in-cluded in both options based on estimated spending

Phase 2: VFM Assessment (3)
25
Present value of government payments for PSC and PFI op-tions are estimated (discount rate = 5.5%) and VfM(%) is calcu-lated
GP(PSC) = Capital costs + operating costs – Revenue
GP(PFI) = Construction subsidy + Compensation costs + Addi-tional government support
GP(PFI) is the government subsidy requested by the private party in the project proposal

Qualitative VfM assessment Allocation of risks (construction, operation risks, etc.)
Improvement of service qualities
And other ripple effects (positive externalities): Promote the financial market through the adoption of an advanced financial technique, etc.
Quantification of project risk transfer is not satisfactory and those qualitative effects are not incorporated into overall VfM assessment so far
Phase 2: VFM Assessment (5)
27
Financial analysis and sensitivity analysis are carried out to assess the profitability (bankability) of a project
Based on the VfM assessment and financial analyses, PFI al-ternatives including the following components, are formu-lated:
Total project costs User fee IRR (Internal Rate of Return) Total government payments Other components related to the implementation of the project
The Competent Authority chooses the most appropriate PFI option and invites third parties to tendering
If it is impossible to formulate a PFI alternative that delivers VfM at a reasonable level of IRR, then the PFI option is rejected
Phase 3: Formulation of PFI Alternatives
28
The VfM test team makes decision on bonus points (10% max) to be awarded to the initial proponents based on the VfM(%) and quality of the proposal
The quality of a proposal is evaluated based on the following criteria:
① Priority of the project in the mid- to long-term government investment plan (10 points)
② Composition of equity investors (10 points) ③ Excellency of construction and operation plan (30 points)
④ Accuracy of demand forecast (30 points)
⑤ Prior consultation with relevant government agencies and plan of ad-dressing of civil complaints (10 points)
⑥ Adequacy of required documentation (10 points)

The VfM test sets the bottom line to meet the condition of ‘VfM≥0’ in selecting preferred bidder and following phases of a project.
VfM reports are used as an important reference when tender evaluation committee conducts their work.
VfM reports provide useful information to prompt negotiation process.
VfM reports are used as reference when ex-post VfM tests are conducted.
