<p>The GMPP is a continually evolving portfolio of the Government’s most complex and high risk projects. Direct comparisons of the GMPP across years should therefore be treated with caution. Projects join and leave the GMPP throughout the year and it is therefore likely that a simple comparison across two time points will refer to different sets of projects.</p><p>At the end of June 2016 (i.e. the end of the Quarter 1 reporting period for 2016-17), 199 officials in BEIS were working on GMPP projects.</p><p>GMPP data for December 2018 (Q3 2018/19) has not yet been cleared and finalised.</p><p>This data refers to public sector employees, defined as those who are directly in the employment of the Civil or Crown Service, local government or Arms’ Length Body at the relevant snapshot date, including seconded members of staff who join the team as Civil, Crown or Public servants.</p><p> </p>
