Planning & Procurement
Business Case Development and Management
The development of a robust business case is arguably the most important deliverable for a project, not only for the client, but for potential contractors, the public and all other stakeholders involved.
A well-considered business case will clearly outline the key objectives and goals of the project, as well as identifying the key project benefits for broader end users. This will assist with achieving project funding and minimise otherwise lengthy timeframes for post business case stakeholder consultation, documentation development and procurement.
Our team have experience in both preliminary business case and detailed business case development, for both private and public clients. We are experienced in the alignment of public policy and business case development, using frameworks such as the Queensland Government Project Assessment Framework, or PAF, process.
- Our team have consulted with a wide range of stakeholders, in order to develop considered business case documents which are reflective of the needs of our clients, the end user and all stakeholders involved. In doing so, we have experience in consultation with independent Authorities for the purpose of review and comment on a business case (such as Building QLD), as well as the preparation of documentation for the Cabinet Budget Review Committee (CBRC) at a State level.
