4.7 NHS bodies should also make use of the guidance now available on PPP procurement (e.g. SG Infrastructure Investments Unit, SGHD Capital Planning and Investment website, OGC, Partnerships UK, DoH PPP website ). In addition to the material in this section, other sections of the Scottish Capital Investment Manual offer general advice on procurement, e.g. business case preparation, output specification drafting etc. The vast majority of PPP issues are not unique to health but arise across the entire public sector. It follows that generic guidance on PPP applies to the NHS as it does to most other sectors. A series of topic specific PPP guidance booklets has been produced by Scottish Government Infrastructure Investments Unit and these are cross referenced in this guidance where appropriate.
4.8 Advice is also available from the SGHD Major Projects Advisor at the and on the SGHD Capital Planning and Investment website.
