−	The Office of Government Commerce (OGC) has established a detailed gateway review process for public procurement. The [http://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/20100503135839/http://www.ogc.gov.uk/what_is_ogc_gateway_review.asp OGC gateway review process] offers a structure for assessing programmes and projects at key stages in their development to verify that they should be allowed to progress to the next stage. Gateway reviews are independent peer reviews carried out by a review team on behalf of the senior responsible owner. The review team prepare a confidential review report for the senior responsible owner. The process is mandatory for central civil government projects and is best practice in the health sector, local government and defence.
