Key Principles:
◼ Public sector agencies must prepare business cases to support capital-related proposals (irrespective of funding source) and resource allocation decisions of Government.
◼ The extent and detail of evidence required for business cases will depend on the value and/or the risk of the project or program.
◼ The standard of evidence required when analysing the service need, the options and the implementation of the proposal is referenced quantitative (preferred) or qualitative data and established methodologies (as referenced in these Guidelines). The evidence and the methodologies should clearly link resources, services and results.
