Common Appraisal Framework

Last updated on
The purpose of the Common Appraisal Framework is to develop a common framework for appraising transport investments in accordance with the Public Spending Code .
It is also designed to help assist and guide Sponsoring Agencies when developing transport business cases for proposed public investment.
The previous version of this document was published in October 2020. This update improves alignment with the 2019 Public Spending Code, introducing revised approval thresholds and updates roles and responsibilities for the review of transport investment proposals.
Following the publication of the National Investment Framework for Transport in Ireland (NIFTI), an additional appendix containing interim guidance on the alignment of land transport investment proposals with NIFTI has also been made available below. This guidance takes effect immediately and should be followed by Sponsoring Agencies when submitting appraisal documentation to the appropriate Approving Authority.
