For each statement in Column 1, we need to determine if it should be explained within the
Commercial Case or the Financial Case based on its content. Here are the answers:
Commercial Case - The use of the open procedure for considering tender responses is typically a part
of procurement strategy, which falls under the Commercial Case. It deals with how the project will be
delivered, the procurement strategy, and the contractual arrangements.
Commercial Case - The potential for opposition from staff when transferring units would also be
considered in the Commercial Case as it relates to stakeholder engagement and the management of
change, both of which are commercial considerations.
Financial Case - An operating surplus from hiring out sports facilities deals directly with financial
performance and sustainability, hence it would be included in the Financial Case.
Neither of the above - This statement about student satisfaction and attendance rates is more
related to the outcomes and benefits, which would typically be covered in the Economic Case or
Benefits Realization Plan rather than the Commercial or Financial Cases.
Financial Case - The net overall saving in the cost of contracts for cleaning is a financial consideration,
dealing with cost savings and expenditure, and therefore should be included in the Financial Case.
Financial Case - Structuring payments to incentivize delivery would be part of the payment
mechanism and financial structuring, which are addressed in the Financial Case.
