Award of Crisis Protection Gap Bottom-Up Costing Analysis to Beatrice Cassottana

About

D A I Europe awarded a contract to Beatrice Cassottana for a crisis protection gap bottom-up costing analysis.

The work involved investigating crisis-related expenditures with risk modelling approaches to estimate the likelihood and magnitude of crisis costs over the coming years.

Deliverables included a briefing note providing a qualitative summary of response activities, their phasing, and relative importance; a draft report identifying the most appropriate conceptualisation of the cost structure of that response and the evidence base supporting this recommendation, discussing key factors (controls) influencing costs, and providing an empirical assessment of the range of costs associated with each response activity; and a final report with brief recommendations on future research priorities.

Regular update calls with the Centre were expected, and the consultant was to present results in at least one workshop.

The contract value was £7,200.
