What you need to do

If your project involves a procurement in UK central Government, it will be subject to OGC Gateway™ Review. The OGC Gateway™ Process sets out good practice and useful questions to ask when carrying out a significant project, whether or not it falls below the Gateway threshold and whether or not it involves external procurement. The Successful Delivery Toolkit provides an on-line version of the OGC Gateway™ Review workbooks that links the review questions to sources of best practice.

Points to consider

If a project includes an element of procurement, you must follow  EC procurement rules above certain thresholds. If Departmental internal guidance applies that will also need to be followed.
