The report was asked for in September 2022.

Meeting date: 22 June 2023

There have obviously been issues with the costs for quite a few years. Has anybody asked for a report on value for money to be done previously?

Meeting date: 22 June 2023

Sharon Dowey

Was any advice given in the past that it would not be value for money to complete vessel 802?

Public Audit Committee

Written Authority: Completion of Vessel 802

Meeting date: 22 June 2023

Sharon Dowey

In your letter to the director-general, you refer to there being a

“narrow value for money case for continuing to build vessel 802 at FMPG”.

What is meant by a

“narrow value for money case”

and how did you arrive at that conclusion, given that the term is not specifically used by the director-general in his letter to you?

Public Audit Committee

Written Authority: Completion of Vessel 802

Meeting date: 22 June 2023

Sharon Dowey

You say in your letter that you

“accept that the value for money assessment concludes that it would be cheaper to re-procure a new vessel”,

but that that new vessel could

“not be deployed until May 2027 at the earliest.”

How did you arrive at the May 2027 date for the potential deployment of a new vessel?

Meeting date: 22 June 2023

Sharon Dowey

The report states:

“The auditor considered the implications of the investigations for the college’s compliance with the Code.”

Can you provide more detail on the outcome of those considerations?

Did you look at the possibility of stopping the building of 802 and giving FMPG a new contract for a new ship?

Meeting date: 22 June 2023

Sharon Dowey

Good morning. You provided written authority to the director-general the day after it had been sought. Did you give sufficient time to fully consider the request and consult officials and Scottish ministers as appropriate, particularly given that the request for and provision of written authority were completed over the course of the weekend?
