Text
The review of SIB recognised the value of the organisation for the Northern Ireland Civil Service and the wider public sector. However, it also suggested that there is a need to consider its ongoing strategic role and made recommendations in that respect. We are clear that SIB has a key role to play in providing strategic advice on capital investment, supporting delivery of major projects and developing innovative approaches to support Executive priorities. That must be the focus of its work, and it will be important that incoming board members are aligned to that strategic role. As such, we are considering proposals for a public appointment competition, which will take the findings of the review and the future strategic role of SIB into account.
