The appropriateness of progressing programmes of investment or individual projects via a PPP delivery and investment route will initially be considered centrally by SGHD. This process is detailed in the Scottish Government PPP VFM Assessment guidance for Programme Level assessments and specific project assessments. This guidance details a key initial PPP suitability checklist which will be considered at the initial stages of programme level and individual project level assessment. The information in this section complements the Scottish Government wide guidance. This section will help NHS bodies justify investment rate decisions at the individual project level.
