Details

The Government Major Projects Portfolio (GMPP) is a collection of the government’s most complex and strategically significant projects. Major projects range from railways, roads, schools, hospitals and housing, to energy, telecommunications, defence, IT and transformation programmes. In 2023-24 the GMPP contained 227 projects, worth a total cost of £834 billion.

Because these projects are so large and complex, it is important to evaluate them properly to learn from them and hold the government accountable for their delivery. This report sets out findings from a review undertaken by the Evaluation Task Force of evaluation in the 2023-24 GMPP and an action plan for continuous improvement.
