The aim of this article is (a) to demonstrate the imporatnce of periodicaly taking a more systematic and strategic view when assessing VfM in PPP procurement (OGC 2003), and (b) to develop an analytical framework for such an analysis. Road infrastructure procurement in South East Queensland is used as a case study to test the usefulness of the proposed framework, and to show how a narrow focus on individual contracts increases the risk of overlooking overdependence on one supplier (OGC 2003). Discussion focuses on the need to combine detailed analysis of individual contracts with longitudinal analyses of market competitiveness when assessing best VfM
