Criteria framework Value and vision • Basis for developing criteria to assess the options and development of a BPO. • Assist with developing qualitative or quantitative measures of the non-cost considerations. Criteria aims to: • Enable a multi criteria decision making process to be used to allow options to be evaluated on their importance to the community. • Allow for options to be evaluated on their importance to the community.
Criteria framework Purpose • Develop questions that allow all options to be compared evenly and consistently Structure • Questions and response per option. • Could be yes/no or a score that is added. • Could have minimum score threshold. • Could need positive response for each question.
Criteria framework Level applied • What level of evaluation is used : • Phase A - Screening • Phase B - Preference • Phase C - BPO • It can change over time Less detail Screening may be qualitative BPO may be quantitative More detail
Criteria framework 3 types of assessment: Bottom lines • Has to be met Requirements • Need to be addressed Aspirational • Would ideally like to achieve Need to make sure address/fulfil the Vision Need to convert technical attributes to a • If $X, how good compared to $Y score • If 15g/m 3 , how good is that compared to 23g/m 3
