During the preliminary assessment Stage qualitative analysis will be undertaken of the various technical solutions and project delivery options. The purpose of the qualitative assessment is to subjectively test whether the objectives, service requirement and proposed structure of the project are likely to provide the private sector with sufficient scope to access and exploit the value drivers.
Throughout business case development it is important that those project delivery options being considered undergo repeated qualitative assessment to ensure they remain consistent with the service requirement and remain likely to represent a value for money outcome.
