Previous Evaluation Proposal
New SoR Journey
CUSTOMER Idea
CP Industry discuss shape SoRs, indicate H/M/L
CP/Industry submit SoR to Openreach front door
CP Product/ CBM/CVT discussion
ACCEPT
Openreach logs it on Tracker, SoR published at
the same time
NO - Clear rationale
Openreach Prioritisation Business Case Process
Industry rank SoRs
YES to development
REJECT with clear rationale
CP Product

Refined Proposal
Openreach to update
via SOR tracker








SOR tracker with

results of review


Monthly feedback on
SORs to industry

forum







This process sets out to demonstrate the fron
t end process before Openreach is able to
evaluate SORs.
Process of evaluation will be documented
separately.
