Recommendation 21
21
NISTA prioritises and reallocates resources across major projects to improve overall delivery system efficiency.
Recommendation
We noted that the concept of mega projects could take away from the proper supervision of major projects and asked how NISTA will have the bandwidth to be able to keep across all these major projects. NISTA told us that the GMPP projects are tiered and prioritised, with the prioritisation reviewed quarterly. NISTA said it changes and moves resources around, depending on the needs of the projects. NISTA expects an advantage of its new role will be the ability to improve the overall project delivery system and said that that whilst a lot of its focus may be on the larger projects, quite often the broader challenges, and opportunities for efficiencies relate to how individual projects fit into broader programmes such as the school or hospital building programmes.41
