Multi criteria decision analysis
The Green Book, Central Government Guidance On Appraisal And Evaluation, Published by HM Treasury in 2020, defines Multi Criteria Decision Analysis as: ‘…a technique for dealing with competing complex unmonetisable values. In certain circumstances, it can be used at the longlisting stage to consider the scope and the technical means of delivery of a service. The technique permitted uses swing weighting in controlled conditions led by an experienced facilitator it is different from simple weighting and scoring which is explicitly not recognised as a valid objective methodology.’
The 2018 Green Book stated: ‘Multi Criteria Decision Analysis is a technique for dealing with complex unmonetisable values. It can be employed, in certain circumstances, at the long-listing stage to consider unmonetisable trade-offs.’
