Points to consider
Be prepared to take an innovative approach in meeting the requirements, but take a realistic view on how well new ideas could be achieved in practice. Consider different packaging of programmes of change and their component projects; look beyond organisational boundaries for opportunities to collaborate with partners in the public and private sectors, perhaps on new kinds of service delivery. Make an initial assessment of whether the market is willing to deliver the requirement - and has the capability and capacity to do so. Consult the market early to inform decisions. See guidance on Market Sounding.
