  1. Value for Money Test in Korea • Jungwook KIM • awaker2@kdi.re.kr • Director, PPP Division • Public and Private Infrastructure • Investment Management Center PIMAC

  2. 1. Process of PPP Project Implementation

  3. 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 related plans and demands for the facility. They then weight the procurement 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) submits a project proposal, and then the competent authority examines and evaluates the contents and value for money of the private proposal, and designates it as a PPP project 3

  4. Selection of PPP Project Competent Authority Competent Authority Review by PIMAC VFM Test Competent Authority Designation as the PPP Project Announcement of RFPs Competent Authority Submission of Project Proposals Private Sector → Competent Authority Evaluation and Selection of Preferred Bidder Competent Authority Negotiation and Contract Award (Designation of Concessionaire) Competent Authority → Preferred Bidder Application for Approval of Detailed Implementation Plan Concessionaire → Competent Authority Construction and Operation Concessionaire Procurement Steps of a Solicited Project Solicited Project 4

  5. Unsolicited Project Submission of Project Proposal Private Sector → Competent Authority VFM Test PIMAC Competent Authority → Proponent Notification of Project Implementation Announcement of RFPs Competent Authority Submission of Project Proposals Private Sector → Competent Authority Evaluation and Selection of Preferred Bidder Competent Authority Negotiation and Contract Award (Designation of Concessionaire) Competent Authority → Preferred Bidder Application for Approval of Detailed Implementation Plan Concessionaire → Competent Authority Construction and Operation Concessionaire Procurement Steps of an Unsolicited Project 5

  6. VFM : The Theory

  7. 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 Enforcement Decree of the PPP Act The VFM Concept 7

  8. 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 procurement practices Not a universal tool Applied on a project or program basis Innovation, asset utilization, risk sharing, competition, service integration ate main key drivers of VFM Presence of VFM drivers confirms suitability for PPP Key Elements of VFM 8

  9. 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 The Role of PSC 9

  10. Compare to PSC or between bidders • Presence of VFM confirms suitability for PPP. PFI PSC QUANTITATIVE VFM NPV of Retained Risk NPV of Retained Risk NPV of Transferable Risk NPV of PPP Contract NPV of Competitive Neutrality NPV of Raw PSC VFM Assesment 10

  11. 3. VFM : The Practice in Korea

  12. Implementation • PIMAC of KDIis in charge of VfM test as stipulated by the PPP Act • VfM test is carried out in accordance with ‘Guidelines for implementation 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 professional expertise are important elements in conducting VfM tests. 12

  13. Organization of a Research Team • 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 13

  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 compared 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 formulated 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.

  19. Assess project feasibility and necessity in the context of national 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 benefits Sensitivity analysis Policy analyses, if necessary, are carried out Phase 1: Feasibility Study (1) 19

  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 thesame level of servicewill 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 estimated 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) 20

  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 economic 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 recommends the Competent Authority to reject the project proposal. Phase 1: Feasibility Study (3) 21

  22. Government spending of the PSC is compared against government 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 options: 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) 22

  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 consideration 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 included in both options based on estimated spending Phase 2: VFM Assessment (2) 23

  24. Phase 2: VFM Assessment (3) 24

  25. Present value of government payments for PSC and PFI options are estimated (discount rate = 5.5%) and VfM(%) is calculated GP(PSC) = Capital costs + operating costs – Revenue GP(PFI) = Construction subsidy + Compensation costs + Additional government support GP(PFI) is the government subsidy requested by the private party in the project proposal Phase 2: VFM Assessment (4) 25

  26. 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) 26

  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 alternatives including the following components, are formulated: 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 27

  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 addressing of civil complaints (10 points) ⑥ Adequacy of required documentation (10 points) Phase 4: Bonus Points for Initial Proponent (4) 28

  29. Bonus Point Swiss Challenge: the original proponent has right to counter-match any superior offer. Best and Final Offer: the winning bidder must compensate the original proponent for project development costs. Phase 4: Bonus Points for Initial Proponent (4) 29

  30. Phase 4: Bonus Points for Initial Proponent (4) 30

  31. 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. Use of VFM Test Results 31
