Speaker：赵剑锋博士，英国诺森比亚大学

Abstract：

This talk will focus on the nebulous value for money (VfM) concept and its widely-criticised use in justifying the adoption of Public Private Partnerships for transport infrastructure projects. Instead of diving directly into the modelling part, it asks the fundamental question: what is value for money? On this basis, a dynamic VfM assessment process will be explained in terms of how a procurement method can be appropriately selected for transport projects, and how their VfM is assessed throughout the project lifecycle. This will present an opportunity for governments to recognise public VfM in transport interventions, shift their mindset from singular to multi-dimensional evaluation, and start to actually accumulate and exploit experience from past projects.
