OGC - Stand 14

The Office of Government Commerce (OGC) was established to help government to deliver best value from its spending.

It works with central government departments and other public sector organisations to achieve six key goals:

• Delivery of value for money from third party spend; 
• Delivery of projects to time, quality and cost;   
• Getting the best from the government's £30bn estate;   
• Improving the sustainability of the government estate and operations, through stronger performance management and guidance;   
• Helping to achieve delivery of further government policy goals; and
• Driving forward the improvement of central government capability in procurement, project and programme management and estates management through the development of people skills, processes and tools.

OGC provides policy standards and guidance on best practice in procurement, projects and estate management, and monitors and challenges departments' performance against these standards. It promotes and fosters collaborative procurement across the public sector to deliver better value for money and better public services; and it provides innovative ways to develop government's commercial and procurement capability.
