est097_threepointestimate_v0_2.xls
A project estimate (88 days) has been prepared based on known activities and is broken down as follows:
- IS applications (PM; BA; Apps Mgt; DevTech)- 62 days
- Estates Finance – 8 days
- Estates System Support – 12 days
- Business Partner – Refer to Mass Quote

The project Estimations Log (EST097 ThreePointEstimate v0_2.xls) shown above, provides a more detailed breakdown of the two work streams within this project. NB. No ‘nice to have’ project delivery costs are included in this project estimate, other than the creation of the associated Business Case(s). These will be managed via the standard project change control process.
Supplier quotes have been received as follows:
- ‘Payment Approval (Contract) – Solution’ development - £3,163.38 ex vat; Annual Support Cost - £103.13 ex. vat
- ‘Payment Approval (Goods) – Solution’ development - £3,163.38 ex vat; plus Annual Support Cost - £103.13 ex. vat
A request has been made for a ‘combined’ Payment Approval (Contract and Goods) quote, which is expected to realise cost savings on the above.
