Cost control of infrastructure projects, individually and collectively, is essential to NHSScotland Bodies. While NHSScotland Bodies are free to select their own methods and formats for cost control, Procode, Construction Procurement Guidance for NHSScotland, Section 1.9, provides generic cost control guidance and specific details on the use of the CCR Form system. The use of Cost Control Forms (CCR's) is one procedure which can assist with proper cost control, facilitating :
• Effective cost management
• Informed change control
• Effective risk management
• Effective contract administration
• Effective cash flow
• Effective capital forecasting
• Accountability and auditability
• Information for Scottish Government returns
• Facilitation on final accounts
• Accurate information for future projects
