3.3 The outcome of the appraisal should be to have a more robust understanding of the suitability of PFI for a specific programme, and also to ensure a closer match between the requirements of each programme and the capability and capacity of procuring authorities to complete each programme. Once the Stage 1 qualitative and quantitative assessments have been completed, an overall assessment should be made. This should provide a detailed justification for the conclusion and should recognise the limitations in any of the component parts of the assessment, both for the preferred procurement route for the programme, and for its constituent projects.
3.4 The completed programme level assessment should be made available to procuring authorities and project teams charged with delivering the projects that fall within each programme. Such project teams may be based within the department or fall within an agency or Local Authority.
