Options framework and filter
A1.6 The options framework breaks a proposal down into a sequence of choices. These choices are presented as questions around the proposed scope, solution, delivery, implementation and funding (see Box 17).
A1.7 The options framework considers these choices from the perspective of the public services an intervention is intended to deliver. The social value of assets are appraised according to how well they enable delivery of a service, as the public sector is generally concerned with the provision of goods and services, not asset ownership.
