II.2.4) Description of the procurement
As the investment team prepares projects for each stage of the investment process – from outline to concept (SOC) to interim (OBC) to final (FBC) – it will require increasingly comprehensive economic appraisal support. This is the role of the economic appraiser.
Please note that, in contrast to the previous functioning of the SIF, the economic appraiser will not routinely consider more than the strategic and economic cases of the regular 5 business case model adopted by HM Government. The investment team will typically assume full responsibility for the commercial, financial and management cases.
