What you need to do

The budgetary costs set out in the proposals provide an opportunity to revise the cost estimates in the business case.

 

Points to consider

There should be continuing confirmation from within the department that funds are available.

Where all suppliers budgetary costs are significantly higher than those estimated in the business case consider whether:

  • suppliers have misunderstood the requirement or the requirement is over specified leading to a 'gold plated' solution;
  • there is a realistic prospect of reducing costs during negotiation without changing the project's advertised scope or key requirements;
  • additional departmental funds are available;
  • the project should be stopped because it is clearly unaffordable
