Recommendation 14

14 Not Addressed

Departments inconsistently produce comprehensive Strategic Asset Management Plans despite their mandatory importance.

Conclusion
While SAMPs are mandatory and of high strategic importance, not all departments prepare comprehensive plans.23 The OGP is asking departments for a more forward–looking approach in their plans, including consideration of future risks.24 The Cabinet Office explained that almost all departments have now either produced a SAMP, or have plans to produce one.25
Government Response Summary
The response addresses a different PAC conclusion regarding property conditions, not the conclusion about SAMPs.
