1.1.4.4 The STAG Report

Publication Date: 
27 May 2008

The successful completion of a STAG study as documented in the STAG Report, allows the rationale behind a potential transport intervention to be presented in a clear, evidence-led manner and provides the information required by a decision maker to make an informed choice.

An appraisal using STAG provides  the Strategic Business Case for the options taken forward, and the foundations for the Investment Case elements of an Outline Business Case.

All reporting to the Scottish Government and/or Transport Scotland must be in the form of a STAG Report which must be structured in line with the STAG:

  • Introduction;
  • Analysis of Problems and Opportunities;
  • Objective Setting
  • Option Generation, Sifting and Development;
  • Part 1 Appraisal;
  • Part 2 Appraisal;
  • Cost to Government;
  • Risk and Uncertainty;
  • Option Summary Table;
  • Monitoring Plan;
  • Evaluation Plan; and
  • Conclusions.
