Public Sector Comparator

The Public Sector Comparator (PSC) is a tool used to evaluate the costs and benefits of public projects, like highways or schools, by comparing them to similar projects undertaken by private companies. It helps governments determine if a public project is more cost-effective than outsourcing it to private firms. By establishing a standard of performance and pricing, the PSC ensures that public resources are used efficiently and transparently, enabling better decision-making about how to finance and deliver public services.
