The Center for Innovative Finance Support released the P3-VALUE 2.0 Analytical Tool, the second generation of an Excel-based spreadsheet tool designed to educate and assist practitioners in the planning and high-level screening evaluation of P3 procurements. Practitioners may use the tool to better understand the concepts, inputs, key assumptions and outputs from evaluations of risk, financial feasibility, benefit-cost and "value for money" analyses used to compare the aggregate financial benefits and costs of a P3 alternative with conventional procurement. The P3-VALUE 2.0 webinar series explains the structure and application of the P3-VALUE 2.0 Analytical Tool.
