Attend
this event and gain an understanding
of the OGC Gateway™ Process
The Office of
Government Commerce (OGC) developed the OGC Gateway™
Process as part of the Modernisation Agenda, to support the delivery
of improved public services.
The OGC GatewayTM
Process examines programmes and projects at various key decision
points throughout the lifecycle of delivery. The OGC Gateway™
Review is an independent peer review of the contract process, designed
to ensure that, with the assistance of trained Gateway reviewers,
organisations achieve cost-effective project delivery.
OGC Gateway™
Reviews are applicable to a wide range of projects, including:
- Policy development
and implementation
- Organisational
change and other change initiatives
- Acquisition
programmes and projects
- Property/construction
developments
- IT-enabled
business change
- Procurements
using or establishing framework arrangements
The process
is mandatory in central civil government for procurement, IT-enabled
and construction programmes and projects.
OGC Gateway™
Reviews do not form part of a contract’s approval process
nor are they audits.
Undertaken with
the assistance of trained Gateway reviewers, who bring their knowledge
and skills to bear on the key issues that need to be addressed,
OGC Gateway™ Reviews are based on well-established techniques,
conducted on a confidential basis.
The OGC GatewayTM
Review Team normally prepares its report using standardised techniques
and normally agrees with the Senior Responsible Owner the “traffic light” assessment
guidelines to be used in the report.
In general:
| red |
This
indicates that remedial action needs to be taken straight away
to ensure a successful contract; |
| amber |
This indicates
that recommendations have been given, in relation to the
project, and that action should be taken prior to the next
Review |
| green |
This indicates
that the Review Team regards the project as being likely to
succeed but they may indicate that there are some recommendations
to be fulfilled. |
The OGC Gateway™ Process looks at
the readiness of projects to progress to the next phase at six key
stages.
The six
stages are:
- Strategic
Assessment
- Business
Justification
- Procurement
Strategy
- Investment
Decision
- Readiness
For Service
- Benefits
Evaluation
