Centres of Excellence

A Centre of Excellence brings together a set of essential functions to support the successful delivery of programmes and projects. In line with the Improving Programme and Project Delivery (IPPD) report, (this hyperlink is available to members of the GSI network only) Government departments are required to establish centres of excellence to support the strategic oversight of programmes, including those delivering Public Service Agreement (PSA) targets, and also have responsibility for a department's agencies and non-departmental public bodies.

A Centre Of Excellence is much more than a programme office because its remit is to provide a continuous overview across all of an organisation's portfolio of programmes - not just co-ordinating and reporting on the programmes, but challenging what must be delivered and how it will be delivered.

For further information about Centres Of Excellence please see the Centre Of Excellence Information Pack v3.1 (PDF).
