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 The other schools have now withdrawn their objections to Pittville University running the new campus.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

The best and final offers have been returned for the delivery of the new campus. The preferred supplier was Piaffeco, which was the same supplier that delivered the neighbouring Marshgate High School.
Should Economic Appraisals be prepared for the best and final offers for the discarded service providers on the short list?

• A. No, because updating the FBC with best and final offers should be done as part of the Commercial Case.
• B. No, because only the public sector comparator (PSC) should be updated in light of knowledge gained from the procurement.
• C. Yes, because the FBC should provide Economic Appraisals for all options.
• D. Yes, because the reasons for rejecting potential service providers from the long list to the short list stage should be provided.

Which 2 statements should be recorded under the Proposed key contractual clauses heading?

• A. The return on the investment will repay the sum of the original investment over 10 years.
• B. The new campus building is to be listed as an asset on the Local Education Authority balance sheet.
• C. The parties shall attempt to resolve any dispute through negotiations between senior executives of the parties, who have authority to settle the same.
• D. The contract period for development of the new campus is three years.
• E. Staff at the new campus will automatically become employees of Pittville University with the same terms and conditions of employment.
