The Hon. K.O. FOLEY House of Assembly Port Adelaide Deputy Premier Minister for Industry and Trade Minister for Federal/State Relations PUBLIC SECTOR COMPARISON The Hon. K.O. FOLEY (Port Adelaide—Deputy Premier, Treasurer, Minister for Industry and Trade, Minister for Federal/State Relations): I am advised that the development of a public sector comparator (PSC) is an integral component of the Public Private Partnership (PPP) procurement model. It reflects the risk-adjusted cost of the public sector delivering the infrastructure and services over the concession period. Public sector comparators have been developed for all the PPP projects and are not publicly disclosed as they form the integral part of the negotiation process with bidders. As such, they are retained as commercial-in-confidence.
