HFS will notify the CIG when the process is completed and verify, to the CIG, the recommendation given to the Board. The submission sent, by the Board, to the Capital Investment Process (CIG) should include the information sent previously to the NHSScotland Design Assessment Process (NDAP) and the response received.
In considering the business case the CIG will take the NDAP's response into consideration as follows:
• Supported with no qualifications : CIG can approve.
• Supported with Essential or Advisory Recommendations : Evidence of how the identified issue is being addressed will be required prior to CIG approval.
• Supported with notes of potential to deliver good practice : CIG can approve
• Unsupported: CIG will not approve.
Post Occupancy Evaluations submitted to the CIG should be copied to HFS to inform the assessment process. For projects that have been developed with the use of a 'design statement' the evaluation at POE should include an assessment against the benchmarks in the Design Statement.
