The paper builds on ICE’s previous work into reducing the gap between project cost estimates and outturns, which outlined the need for a broader approach to project procurement that better captures benefits.
The paper provides:
- Insight into how costs and benefits are currently appraised in the UK
- An overview of the challenges in assessing long-term project outcomes
- Examples of how different international governments appraise the benefits and costs of infrastructure projects
- An outline of emerging thinking and potential future trends into alternative project appraisal approaches
The paper was informed by ICE Fellows and other experts based both in the UK and internationally.
