## Notice

Value Management and Optioneering. This will involve working with others to understand the increases in costs and where scope may have expanded. It is assumed that initial value management workshops arranged by will take place in the first half of June in order to identify potential cost levers for further investigation (e.g. scope, time, inflation etc.). Once the consultants have identified these levers, further optioneering exercises with the users will take place in July and August. Benefits and Requirements. This will provide stakeholders with visual clarity of the impact of their decisions on changes to scope/requirements on the benefits used to underpin HMT's investment decision. The basis of this can be done using existing data and knowledge from the SCAH Programme Team on the benefits approach to date, but will need to be validated and agreed with by senior users. We have assumed that two one-hour sessions will be required to do this. Deliverables include: a digital map of benefits on the right hand side, logic links to outcomes and requirements on the left hand side and % contribution of outcomes to benefits; and a report to summaries the findings, recommended quick wins and logical next steps and what these next steps will achieve for the SCAH Programme. The value management studies and optioneering of the RIBA 1 output is dependent upon the following: WSP continue to provide Technical Assurance and complete the URB update as required. Merrick is available to provide advice on impact of changes occurring from value management work to 950 and 951. (Awaiting proposal) Input from APHA and DgP to provide scientific and engineering user perspectives, anticipated to come through the Design Authority once established. Moreover, approval from the Design Authority of the optioneering of the RIBA 1 output. The completion of the value management studies and optioneering of the RIBA 1 output will be at risk if the above are not in place.
