Using the Scenario, answer the following question about the development of the Strategic Case for the Pittville project.
Lines 1 to 4 in the table below consist of an assertion statement and a reason statement. For each line identify the appropriate option, from options A to E, that applies. Each option can be used once, more than once or not at all.


Assertion
The option to 'Develop a new campus on the site of
the Old Fire Station Headquarters' should be
captured on the long list within the Strategic Case.
'Underachieving on success rates for qualifications'
should be captured under the business need
heading in the Strategic Case.
'Development of learning provision for 14-19-year-
olds in Pittville' should be recorded as a key service
requirement.
The number of students accommodated by each of
the current learning providers should be detailed in
the Strategic Case.
Reason
Because
a) The purpose of the long list is to identify a wide range of
options that meet the spending objectives, potential
scope and benefits criteria.
b) The business needs in a Strategic Case should include
deficiencies in current provision.
c) The key service requirements in a Strategic Case
should set out the existing arrangements and explain
how services are currently organized, provided and
supplied.
d) The critical success factors essential to the successful
delivery of a scheme should be included in a Strategic
Case

Correct Answer:

The Director of Pittville University has resigned during the procurement process. As a result, the Deputy Director is now acting as Director. The other schools have now withdrawn their objections to Pittville University running the new campus. It is thought that the delivery approach could be revised so that Pittville University manages all 16-18-year-olds education and further cost reductions could be achieved. There is no option in the OBC that provides this delivery approach with the service solution of a new campus.
Should the preferred option be reviewed in the FBC? (Select one)

• A.  No, because the lack of a Director of Pittville University would not affect a delivery approach involving Pittville University.
• B.  No, because the preferred option should remain unchanged once selected at OBC.
• C.  Yes, because the FBC must demonstrate that the preferred option offers better VFM than the other available options.
• D.  Yes, because the FBC should consider the organization's strategy for managing contractual change.
