8.10 Further Advice and Guidance

8.10.1Departmental economists can provide general advice on the content of business cases and specialist advice on the relevant appraisal and evaluation techniques and procedures.
8.10.2DFP business case guidance is broadly consistent with the relevant HM Treasury guidance. The latter is based on a '5 case model' - the strategic case, the economic case, the commercial case, the financial case and the management case - and HM Treasury's recommended presentation is based around these issues. DFP expects business cases to cover similar issues, but has its own specific requirements for the content and presentation of OBCs and PPP business cases as indicated above. However, the HM Treasury Green Book business case resources website provides additional useful material.
