Alternatives Analysis

Compare project alternatives based on expected costs, benefits and risks. The module applies cost-benefit analysis methodologies recognised by the European Commission and supports traceable, well-founded decisions, including for DOCFAP purposes.

WHEN TO USE IT

Two approaches to assessing project alternatives

Choose between alternative investment options

The module compares different investment options based on costs, expected economic and social benefits, and risks. It can also be used when preparing a DOCFAP is not required.

Prepare the economic and social component of the DOCFAP

When a DOCFAP is required, Civiqa supports the assessment of alternatives in line with the process set out in the Italian Public Contracts Code and prepares the economic and social component of the document. Data, analyses and the rationale behind the decision remain fully traceable.

faq

More about Alternatives Analysis

1. The analyses are exported to a prefilled, editable Word document for the authority to validate, complete and sign under its procedures

Even when a DOCFAP is not required, the module allows public authorities to compare project alternatives based on costs, benefits and risks. This gives them a documented, quantitative basis for selecting the most suitable investment option and justifying the use of public funds.

‍

2. Does the module produce a complete DOCFAP ready for submission?

The module prepares the socioeconomic component of the DOCFAP and generates a prefilled, editable Word document. The public authority must validate it, add the necessary technical documentation and sign it in accordance with the applicable procedures.

3. How does Civiqa support public authorities in the event of an audit?

Analyses and documents uploaded to the platform are organised and easy to access. The public authority can explain the reasons behind its decision using data on the costs, economic and social benefits, and risks of the different alternatives.

‍

4. Can the module complement the work of a technical specialist or external consultant?

Yes. The module adds socioeconomic analysis, cost-benefit analysis, and sensitivity and risk assessments to the project documentation and technical drawings. Its output can be integrated with the documentation prepared by the specialist or consultant.

5. How much work does the module require from public authority staff?

Staff enter the available data and documents through a guided process. Civiqa applies the relevant methods, estimates and calculations, reducing the manual work needed to produce the analysis.

6. How are updates to methods and regulations managed?

Civiqa keeps track of changes to applicable regulations and updates the methods and references used by the module accordingly.
