Commercial - Identify the most suitable commercial option, delivery structure, contracting arrangements, procurement strategy and heat pricing strategy;
Legal - Ensure that the commercial options, delivery structure and arrangements, contracting arrangements and procurement are appropriate and compliant with relevant regulatory, policy and State Aid issues;
Finance - Develop a full financial model capable of informing the financial appraisal within the Financial Case and demonstrating that the preferred option will result in a fundable and affordable deal encompassing initial and future scheme phases;
Preparation of an Outline Business Case : Economic, Financial and Commercial - Prepare the OBC using the HNDU Business Case Template and adhering to the broad principles of the HM Treasury Green Book Guidance on Public Sector Business Cases Using the Five Case Model.
