When there are private bodies as opposed to doing it internally or making assessments internally and doing a cost-benefit analysis. It seems that when it goes to PPP or is privatised, there is less opportunity to hold people to account. Accountability is around value for money and how we use it. If we are entering a PPP contract and there are other services involved it such as cleaning or maintenance, in respect of entering a 25-year contract for one of those services, how can we get value for money in that scenario?
