Benchmarking and Market Testing in NHS PFI projects: Code of Best Practice

This Code of Best Practice provides guidance and advice on good practice to NHS Trusts, Project Companies and Service Providers about to embark on benchmarking and market testing in a PFI scheme, and is intended as a supplement to contract provisions and current guidance. Whilst this Code predominantly concerns operational schemes, it will assist parties in handling schemes in the procurement phase in conjunction with SF3 Schedule 17 and HSG(97)5.
