HL Deb 02 March 2004 vol 658 cc99-100WA
The Earl of Northesk

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What is their response to the suggestion that Gateway reviews of government information technology projects should be published as a means of improving the accountability of the procurement process and avoiding information technology failures. [HL1505]

Lord Davies of Oldham

An OGC GatewayTM Review is conducted on a confidential basis for the SRO (senior responsible owner) and ownership of the report rests with the SRO. This approach promotes an open and honest exchange between the programme/project and review teams delivering maximum added value. OGC Gateway Directorate receives copies of review reports in order to identify and disseminate generic lessons learned.
