The Capital and Facilities website will provide you with information on developing an investment project through the use of core guidance and information covering:
Introduction to Capital Planning and the business case process within NHSScotland
The use of the Scottish Capital Investment Manual (SCIM) in respect of all infrastructure and investment programmes and projects by NHSScotland bodies is mandated through NHS CEL 19 (2009). The new SCIM guidance included on this website is to be followed for all business cases.
Delegated limits with regards to business case submissions and the subsequent approval process for all NHSScotland bodies is set out within CEL 32 (2010) Annex C.
The business case process is intended to be scalable and flexible to ensure that the analytical effort is fit for purpose and matches the scale and type of decision required. The level of detail required will be dependent upon the scale, risk and nature of the investment proposal. It should, however, meet the expectations and information needs of Scottish Government’s Capital Investment Group who can be consulted for further advice on these expectations.
The site is organised around the main topics in the menu bar at page top.
