Hence, the aim of this study is to develop a complete VFM assessment framework for PPP projects embracing financial and non-financial elements across project phases (i.e., strategy formulation; procurement; construction and operation phase) based on four (4) objectives: to identify the essential factors for PPP implementation; to determine the VFM drivers in PPP projects; to investigate the elements of Public Sector Comparator (PSC) as a VFM assessment framework; and finally to develop a VFM assessment framework for PPP projects. Two methods of empirical research using questionnaire survey and case studies (semi-structured interviews) were conducted with PPP stakeholders. In order to underpin the questionnaire survey, three case studies were conducted using structured interviews with government agencies; consultants and contractors. The VFM assessment framework was validated using semi structured interview approach. The results establish the significant financial and non- financial elements fundamentals in the development of PSC at each stage of PPP life cycle. The results identify five most important financial elements at all the phases of PPP approach. Twelve (12) non-financial elements have been identified for the strategy formulation phase; ten (10) at the procurement phase; eleven (11) for the construction phase and twelve (12) non-financial elements to be integrated in the operation phase.
