The UK Government publishes significant detail and data on the government’s major project portfolio. As part of the annual report the IPA publishes specific information on all GMPP projects4 including, departmental narratives on the whole life costs, schedules (including any deviations from the planned schedule) and delivery confidence assessment’s over time. The IPA also publishes a list with the names of Senior Responsible Owners (SROs) for the Government Major Projects Portfolio (GMPP).5Government recognises that increased transparency of data about major projects would be beneficial for tracking progress of major projects, the IPA will review this proposal and consider whether this information can be added to the annual report.
