A dignified, long-life civic building delivered under a PPP / PFI, the justice ministry pays a single, inflation-indexed unitary charge over 25-30 years for keeping the courthouse available. Revenue does not depend on case volumes: it is an availability payment, cut only by deductions for unavailability. A small, simple, low-risk, demand-risk-free PPP. Pick a real example below and follow it through the building, the model and a working returns model.

Drag the sliders to see what earns the money, the number of courtrooms, the unitary charge on each, and how available the building is, not how many cases are heard.
A courthouse delivered under a PPP / PFI is the availability payment in its purest civic form. A private SPV designs, builds, finances and maintains a dignified, long-life court building, and the justice ministry pays a single, inflation-indexed unitary charge over a 25-30 year concession for keeping it available and performing. The engine is therefore the courtrooms, the charge on each and the availability, there is no demand risk whatsoever: the payment does not depend on how many cases are heard, only on whether the building is available, with deductions for unavailability. It is a small, simple, low-risk PPP: a large upfront build turned into a long, contracted, indexed, government-backed annuity that trades in the secondary market at thin, stable yields.
