This National Audit Office report is on assurance for major government projects, such as the introduction of large IT systems, the construction of ships and helicopters and major changes to how services are delivered. There are 205 projects in the Government Major Project Portfolio, with a combined whole-life cost of £376 billion, and annual cost of £14.6 billion. Thirty nine of those projects have a delivery confidence rating of 'red' or 'amber/red'. The report supports the changes that government has made to the central assurance system for such projects - in particular, the launch of the Major Projects Authority - and finds that they have resulted in some significant impacts. However, the system is not yet 'built to last'. Processes need to be formalised, and the Authority, HM Treasury and departments need to co-operate more if these improvements are to continue. Transparent reporting of project data would also create a more effective and enduring system. An effective central system that gives assurance over project progress is critical for ensuring successful outcomes. Capacity constraints have had an impact on the effectiveness of the assurance system. The Authority is reporting on 160 more projects as part of the portfolio and carrying out more in-depth assurance work, but has 40 per cent fewer staff than the body it replaced. As a result, processes for sharing project lessons and for continuously improving the system remain informal, and there is overdependence on key individuals in the system.

The work of the Major Projects Authority is supported but without stronger powers it is unlikely to achieve its aim of a systemic improvement in project delivery across government. The projects in the MPA's portfolio represent a huge and rising cost to the taxpayer. The MPA, however, only has informal influence over departments. It has no powers if a department decides to proceed with a project against MPA advice. It needs to have stronger, more formal mechanisms for driving change, and there should be transparency where ministers or officials have rejected its recommendations. The MPA also needs to focus its efforts more on the early stages of a project, working with departments to ensure that they have devoted sufficient attention to the concept, design and business case for projects before seeking approval. It could also improve its impact by prioritising its work more effectively. The creation of the Major Projects Leadership Academy is welcomed, but the MPA needs to target top decision-makers as well as managers. Nobody in central government is responsible for overseeing projects at a strategic whole-of-government level. The Treasury should take ownership and responsibility for overseeing the government portfolio. The MPA should also publish more information on each project, including the amount spent to date, even if this means reviewing the Government's transparency policy. There is also particular concern that the decision to award a 'reset' rating to the Universal Credit project may have been an attempt to keep information secret and prevent scrutiny

The Major Projects Authority was set up in 2011 to address weaknesses in the central system for assuring major projects across Government. The Authority, a partnership between HM Treasury and the Cabinet Office, is responsible for examining and reporting on projects, and intervening where they are going off track. The Committee states that the Authority has made good progress in its first year, but, with only one third of major projects being delivered to time and budget, believes much more needs to be done. The Authority spends £6 million to monitor over 200 projects worth £376 billion. It has much stronger powers but much less money than its predecessors. Clearly, the resources it has will affect its impact. It focuses its resources on the projects of highest cost and risk and it is dependent on engagement from departments to achieve its aims, but this is not always forthcoming. Some 62% of departments have adequate formal plans to provide assurance on projects, although the extent to which these are used to manage projects varies. The Authority has not met its commitment to publish information on project status; on-going discussions within Government are seriously delaying the publication of the Authority's annual report and calling into question the Government's commitment to transparency. For the report by the NAO on this subject, see HCP 1698, session 2010-12 (ISBN 9780102977080).

The Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (the Authority) was set up in 2005 with the specific remit to tackle the UK's nuclear legacy. Sellafield is run for the Authority by Sellafield Limited. In November 2008, the Authority contracted with an international consortium-Nuclear Management Partners Limited-to improve Sellafield Limited's management of the site, including the development of an improved lifetime plan. Over several decades, successive governments have been guilty of failing to tackle issues on the site. Deadlines for cleaning up Sellafield have been missed, while total lifetime costs for decommissioning the site continue to rise each year and now stand at £67.5 billion. The Authority believes it now has a credible plan for decommissioning Sellafield and expects Sellafield Limited to start retrieving hazardous waste currently held in legacy facilities in 2015. Nonetheless, given the track record on the site and given that only 2 of the 14 major projects were being delivered on or ahead of schedule in 2011-12, the Committee is not yet convinced that this date will be met or that sufficient progress is being made. Basic project management failings continue to cause delays and increase costs, while doubts remain over the robustness of the plan, in particular whether the Authority is progressing the development of the geological disposal facility as quickly as possible. Nor is the Committee convinced that taxpayers are getting a good deal from the Authority's arrangement with Nuclear Management Partners. And taxpayers currently bear the financial risks of delays and cost increases.

In this unique and comprehensive textbook, the authors examine the challenges faced all around the world with regard to major infrastructure project management, and they champion a fresh approach that takes into account the interdependencies between economic, social, political, technological and legislative environments. Managing, developing and investing in crucial infrastructure is essential to keep up with the challenges of a fast-paced and globalised world, but affecting and overseeing change requires a deep understanding of complex interlocking systems. To this end the book is neatly divided into three key parts: project appraisal, maximising integrated supply chains, and implementing value-enhancing practices. This is the ideal companion for courses on any aspect of civil engineering and construction project management including modules in infrastructure planning, infrastructure management, construction management and business management. The book will also appeal to practitioners involved in the management of capital and infrastructure projects.
