public bodies
● It will deliver 1 or more of our
core priorities (growth,
efficiencies or customer
focused services)
● It have strong governance
arrangements, which drive
delivery
● Project management is key to
success
● Delivery will be within 5 years
(more strategic projects 10
years)
● It will be ambitious but credible
● It will be driven by local priorities
or support government with its
land release agenda
● It will be strategic, or involve a
large single site opportunity
● Existing partnerships should be
able to demonstrate successful
delivery to date.
