6.8 The evaluation team will usually be a part of, and report to, the existing project team, drawing on sub-groups for any technical help required. The evaluation team should be set up early in the procurement process and should draw up the evaluation criteria that will be published. It is recommended that the full membership of the evaluation team be involved in setting the evaluation criteria, which should be done before the scheme is advertised.
6.9 In order to be fully effective, the evaluation team should be kept to a manageable size. The evaluation team should represent all stakeholders in the scheme and will typically include:
• NHSScotland body management (chief executive, project director, director of finance, human resources director etc);
• NHSScotland body representative;
• clinicians' representatives;
• the NHSScotland body's financial, legal and technical advisers, as appropriate.
6.10 The evaluation team should also seek advice from the PFCU if it is felt that additional experience from other PPP schemes would be useful.
