This information is complementary to the Five Case Model and would be required to produce any robust Business Case. Some of the documentation has been produced to line up the requirements of the Business Case process with the Designed for Life: Building for Wales construction procurement initiative. These documents must be used for all major Capital Projects where the total Capital Cost exceeds £5 million. Estates Component Annex Many Business Cases in recent years have failed to provide sufficient information on the current estate and the proposed scheme. In future it is a requirement that all Business Cases contain an Annex which provides the fundamental estates information to inform and assist the Business Case scrutiny process. Annexure A to this document includes three outlines of the minimum information required to be included in Strategic Outline, Outline and Full Business Cases. Provision of this information will assist a speedy scrutiny of the Business Case. Revised Cost Forms Revised Cost Forms for Strategic Outline, Outline and Full Business Cases have been produced and are attached as Annexure B. Quantified Risk DoH guidance states that ‘Quantified risk analysis’ refers to the work undertaken in business cases to obtain the expected value of risks in monetary terms. This is through the development of a risk register and for each individual risk the estimation of impact values and probabilities of occurrence. “Quantified risk” can be separated into two elements: Quantified Trust managed risk Quantified Supply Chain Partner (SCP) managed risk. Quantified risks should be recorded in a project specific Risk Register. A typical example is attached as Annexure C. The register has been populated with a starting list of risks that have been identified on previous major projects and may be applicable on other schemes. NHS Trusts and SCPs should use the list as a checklist only and develop a project specific register for the intended scheme. Once a specific risk has been identified it should be recorded in the Risk Register. Only one Risk Register should exist for the project but the data should be sorted into various configurations to suit specific purposes, e.g. by Risk Owner, by Risk Type, etc.

Quantified Risk DoH guidance states that ‘Quantified risk analysis’ refers to the work undertaken in business cases to obtain the expected value of risks in monetary terms. This is through the development of a risk register and for each individual risk the estimation of impact values and probabilities of occurrence. “Quantified risk” can be separated into two elements:
Quantified risks should be recorded in a project specific Risk Register. A typical example is attached as Annexure C. The register has been populated with a starting list of risks that have been identified on previous major projects and may be applicable on other schemes. NHS Trusts and SCPs should use the list as a checklist only and develop a project specific register for the intended scheme. Once a specific risk has been identified it should be recorded in the Risk Register. Only one Risk Register should exist for the project but the data should be sorted into various configurations to suit specific purposes, e.g. by Risk Owner, by Risk Type, etc.
The potential impact of each risk and the likelihood of occurrence should be determined and the effect on these of putting in mitigating elements should follow. If the impact or chance of occurrence can be influenced by mitigation, then if it is agreed to put in place the mitigation, the cost consequence of the mitigation should be taken into account in the Risk Register and the cost of mitigation added to the project base cost. The Risk Register therefore covers the chance that the risk will still occur with either a reduced likelihood or potential impact or both. The Quantified Supply Chain Partner’s managed risk identified in the Target Cost will be used in the eventual calculation of the Pain/Gain share. Risks should be fairly borne and NHS Trusts should give due consideration to their risk exposure balanced against the financial consequences of passing unfair or unreasonable risks onto the SCP. No risks should be shared. NHS Trusts in Wales shall confirm in writing at the commencement of FBC the cost figure they expect the SCP to progress the design and construction of the scheme. It will normally be the approved OBC Works Cost (line 5 on Cost Form OBC1) with the addition of the SCPs Fees and the SCPs Quantified Risk. Inflation Fixed Price Contracts (less than 24 months) Strategic Outline (SOC) and Outline Business Case (OBC) costs are compiled on the basis of Departmental Cost Allowances and On-costs and are related to a MIPS index level (currently 455). For Fixed Price Contracts, projected inflation costs to project completion will need to be calculated and provided to and agreed with Welsh Health Estates. These costs should be compiled by Trust Cost Advisors (TCAs) at SOC stage and by Supply Chain Partners (SCPs) in collaboration with the TCA at OBC and FBC stages and shall be agreed with Welsh Health Estates prior to submission of the Business Case. After OBC the method of cost compilation changes to an elemental cost plan arrangement which ultimately becomes the Target Cost. This cost plan should contain an item to cover inflation through the construction period to completion. This should be based on the figure agreed with Welsh Health Estates. Once the Target Cost is agreed no further adjustment will be made for inflation. The Target Cost would be based on costs to completion. Valuations are subsequently based on actual costs with reconciliation between Target Cost and Actual Cost at the end determining the gain/pain share. Variation of Price Contracts (greater than 24 months) Strategic Outline (SOC) and Outline Business Case (OBC) costs are compiled on the basis of Departmental Cost Allowances and On-costs and are related to a MIPS index level (currently 445). For Variation of Price Contracts, projected inflation costs to project completion will need to be calculated and and provided to and agreed with Welsh Health Estates. These costs should be compiled by Trust Cost Advisors (TCAs) at SOC stage and by Supply Chain Partners (SCPs) in
collaboration with the TCA at OBC and FBC stages and shall be agreed with Welsh Health Estates prior to submission of the Business Case. After OBC the method of cost compilation changes to an elemental cost plan arrangement which ultimately becomes the Target Cost. The Target Cost allows for inflation up to the submission of the Full Business Case and will be adjusted monthly during the construction phase in accordance with the contract requirements for construction inflation to “keep pace” with actual cost and allow the calculation of “the preliminary assessment of the Contractor’s share” at project completion. The Target Cost inflation assessment would then be adjusted when the published firm indices have been issued and “the final assessment of the Contractor’s share” made. During the project valuations are based on actual costs. Rules for payment of project sponsorship costs Project sponsorship costs are internal NHS Trust costs that are necessary to initiate, develop and complete a capital project. One of the key success factors for a capital project is the management and resources input by the NHS Trust to identify their requirements and respond to the needs of the Supply Chain in progressing the project to programme. These costs would not exist if there were no capital project. Project sponsorship costs must be capital costs. The NHS Capital Accounting manual states: “The costs of an NHS body’s capital projects department may only be allocated to individual capital schemes where it can be demonstrated that these costs relate to the production of a capital asset (and not its management or maintenance), and that the basis of apportionment is reasonable” The WAG accepts the need to fund the internal resources necessary to enable the NHS Trust to progress and support the capital project with the following conditions:
There is no scheme until the Strategic Outline Case has been approved by the Capital Investment Board. Trusts should therefore be aware that if a project does not progress after SOC any costs attributable to the capital project must be written off as a revenue item.
Project sponsorship funding can only be drawn down after approval of the SOC.
The Project sponsorship team must be a distinct unit. Staff can be specifically recruited or be
transferred or seconded into the unit from other departments. Only the costs associated with staff who are not currently employed by the NHS Trust or whose post will require “backfilling” during their transfer or secondment period will be allowed. Once the capital project is completed funding will cease and these staff will either be redeployed or return to their original departments or come to the end of their contractual employment and move on to other projects either within the NHS Trust or elsewhere.
Pre-OBC an organisational structure chart identifying the proposed internal project structure
must be provided by the Trust to the Capital, Estates and Facilities Branch together with a costed resource schedule spanning the whole project duration. This chart and schedule should be refreshed and updated at OBC and FBC submission stages.
Programme guidance The Business Case Cost Forms all include a section at the end for NHS Trusts and LHBs to identify their key programme dates. These will be used by the Welsh Assembly Government to inform the ongoing Capital Programme planning process and identify future funding requirements and priorities. It is vital that realistic programmes are submitted and kept to as failure to meet a submission date may result in projects missing their funding slot and others taking up that funding. To assist NHS Trusts and LHBs in planning major Capital Projects tables of typical project durations for new build and refurbishment schemes is attached as Annexure D. These durations allow reasonable periods for the delivery of each phase. However refurbishment projects need to be adjusted to take account of the number of phases, the extent and sequencing of works and the presence of materials such as asbestos which can significantly affect programme. Value Added Tax The Outline and Full Business Cases should include a statement indicating the status of the project with HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC), the identity of the Trust VAT advisor and an outline of the proposed VAT Recovery Strategy. The VAT costs identified on the Capital Cost forms should reflect the implications of the proposed VAT Recovery Strategy. Whole Life Costing Annexure E includes for use at FBC stage a suggested process for the application of Whole Life Costing on major Capital Projects as well as typical proforma that would assist the process. Further work will be done over the next twelve months or so to rationalise the process within the NHS in Wales.

The standard format for the project risk register is attached as Annex A. The owner of the overall project risk register is the Trust appointed Project Manager who will collate and co-ordinate inputs from both the NHS Trust and the Supply Chain Partner (SCP). This format has been agreed with IPAG and is to be used on all projects within the Designed for Life: Building for Wales framework. The project risk register should be reviewed and updated regularly by the whole project team. It should be regarded as a key project control document and should be an agenda item at every project team meeting. The register has been populated with a starting list of risks that have been identified on previous major projects and may be applicable on other schemes. NHS Trusts and SCPs should use the list as a checklist only and develop a project specific register for the intended scheme. Each version of the Risk Register should be given a version number, identify when it was last reviewed and identify the author/collator of the document. Notes are included below to assist in the completion of the Register. The headings match the column headings of the standard format. Risk Number Each risk should be given a unique number which must not be changed during the life of the project. Even if a risk is cleared the number should be retained on the Register. This will allow the history of each risk to be traced by comparison of various versions of the Risk register. Risk Description Each risk should be described briefly. Classification There are two variables of risk – likelihood and impact(consequence). The product of both identifies the seriousness of the risk exposure.
Likelihood of occurrence There are 5 categories of likelihood of exposure:
Rare Will occur only in exceptional circumstances
Unlikely Unlikely to occur Possible Reasonable chance of occurring/
may occur occasionally. Likely Likely to occur Almost certain More likely to occur than not
Potential impact There are 5 categories of impact of exposure:
Insignificant No risk to the project. No impact on services. No impact on the environment
Minor Minimal risk to the project. Slight impact on services. Slight impact on the environment
Moderate Some impact on project Some service disruption Moderate impact on the environment
Major Significant impact on the project Cost implications in excess of £250k Major impact on the environment
Catastrophic Stops or delays project. Cost implications in excess of £1m
Risk exposure score The product of likelihood x impact identifies the seriousness of the risk exposure. There are three categories: Low risk 1-5 Medium risk 6-14 High risk 15-25 Risk Owner This will either be the Trust or the SCP. There should be no shared risks. NHS Trusts should consider the extent of their risk exposure and decide whether some risks are retained by them rather than passed over to the SCP.
Risk Type Three groupings of risk have been identified: Planning, Design and Construction Operational External Risk Implications Risks can have an impact on generally four areas: Time Cost Quality Operations Some risks may impact on more than one area and may even affect all four areas. Risk Costs Text to be agreed. Funding Implications Identify whether the funding to remedy the risk is either Capital or Revenue. Risk Countermeasures Identify the mitigation measures that need to be put in place and other actions that could be taken if the risk occurs. Actioned By Identify the organisation tasked with implementing the countermeasures and mitigation proposals. Risk Status Cleared Current Future Comments Add any comments to remind, action or explain any special circumstances relating to the risk. Identify any links or interdependencies between risks.
