How much must a programme or project cost financially before it is subject to the OGC Gateway Process?
There is no minimum level. All acquisition programmes and procurement projects are subject to the OGC Gateway Process. Financial value is only one of the factors to consider when deciding on the level of risk faced by a programme or project. This is recognised within the Risk Potential Assessment. The fact that a programme or project environment has been deemed appropriate indicates that there is uniqueness to the programme or project, which, in turn, indicates a level of inherent risk. For example, the programme or project could be of low cost but, if unsuccessful, could have a major impact upon staff morale within an organisation. OGC Gateway Reviews are scaleable. Acquisition programmes and procurement projects should, therefore, receive a level of OGC Gateway Review appropriate to the level of risk associated.
