The question
To ask the Scottish Government whether it will provide a breakdown by project of what impact the current rate of inflation will have on Public Private Partnership/Private Finance Initiative payments from April 2023.
The answer
The latest information held by the Scottish Government on these type of payments relates to 31 March 2021. The impact of the current inflation rate will be reflected within our next annual data update exercises which are planned to be undertaken later in the year.
The latest payment information relating to Non-Profit Distributing (NPD) contracts is available from the Scottish Government website by way of the following link www.gov.scot under ‘NPD/hub programme’ and ‘NPD projects pre-November 2010’. The majority of the NPD/hub programme payments, including those relating to original construction costs and financing costs, are not indexed linked, making them less sensitive to increased inflation rates.
In some of the earlier PFI contracts, especially within the health sector, up to 100% of the annual payment was indexed linked meaning that payments therefore can increase with inflation each year. The latest payment information collated by the Scottish Government relating to PFI contracts as at 31 March 2021 has not yet been published by HM Treasury. The associated information relating to this from 2023-24 onwards is however included within the following tables.
