Project Validation Review
Approval processes, Guidance Note, published by the Government Commercial Function in May 2021 states Project Validation Reviews (PVRs): ‘…are held at a very early stage of the project lifecycle to ensure that subject experts can review, discuss, and challenge initial thinking in Departments in setting the commercial strategy.
‘The review enables:
- A more robust engagement between departments and the central assurance and commercial teams at an earlier stage;
- The alignment of the project’s objectives with organisation’s wider change portfolio;
- Support to the project being set-up for success before fully developing its strategic options;
- The sharing of views, opportunities and risks with key stakeholders, and
- Consideration of early strategic delivery options and standards.’
