Business Cases
Business cases will be developed for each Growth Deal project in line with:
- the ‘Better Business Case’ guidance and Five Case model developed by Welsh Government and HM Treasury; and
- the 'Green Book' guidance by HM Treasury.
Project Assurance
Our project business cases are subject to independent Gateway Reviews by the Welsh Government Integrated Assurance Hub, at key decision points, in line with the Cabinet Office Gateway Process.
The Gateway reviews provide assurance that the projects can progress successfully to the next stage.
