Capital planning
1. Collating the data you need:
We'll help you identify the data you'll need from a range of sources. This will include your own data, up to date market cost data and forecasts drawn from our own historical data which includes services and consumables costs, risk assessments, purchase costs, financing costs and technological maturity.
2. Populating our dynamic, online system:
Once the information has been collated, we'll help you populate your replacement plan in our online system, your plan will be dynamic - adapting to new information, costs or risk assessments. It can be made available to all stakeholders, delivering a fully transparent planning tool.
3. Evaluating the funding gap:
Every NHS Trust, and most departments, will have a funding gap - the difference between what you need and your available funds. The plan will clearly identify the whole-life costs of the equipment you need to purchase as well as available source of funds. The model will assess the costs of alternative funding options - from cash to loan and lease to managed service, helping you make the most cost-effective funding decisions.
4. Making the right decisions:
Armed with up to date whole-life costs on an asset-by-asset basis, you'll be able to assess your options, build well-informed business cases and identify the ideal time and method to replace the equipment on your list.
