	NB The damning 2011 House of Commons Treasury Select Committee report on PFI has found '...that PFI projects are significantly more expensive to fund over the life of a project and that there is no ...clear evidence of savings and benefits in other areas of PFI projects which are sufficient to offset this significantly higher cost of finance. It is difficult to see where this leaves private finance initiatives, however, there are more than 700 existing PFI projects, and as long as it continues to allow financing not to appear in government debt figures it is likely to remain a feature of procurement in the UK.

	When it existed, the OGC produced a great deal of guidance about best practice in procurement and project management. This OGC guidance has now been archived, however, it is still cited in the new Government Construction Strategy and the revised Common Minimum Standards (to become the 'Construction Standards') and links are still provided from government websites such as the [http://www.cabinetoffice.gov.uk/content/major-projects-authority Major Projects Authority]. The OGC gateway review process still provides one of the best and most comprehensive sets of guidance for public projects. It is for this reason that the project plan for public projects within Designing Buildings Wiki follows the OGC gateway review process. See Public project: outline work plan.
