3. The capital value of PFI schemes are approximate and defined as:

Total capital cost to the private sector includes the cost of land construction, equipment and professional fees but excludes VAT, rolled up interest and financing costs such as bank arrangement fees, bank due diligence fees, banks' lawyers fees and third party equity costs. As PFI procures a service rather than the underlying asset, capital values shown are necessarily estimates.
