This is a new service and pages are being tested and improved.

Overview

If you work for a UK government department or arm’s length body, you must follow this guidance when you publish content or services on projectdelivery.gov.uk.

The proposition tells you what goes on projectdelivery.gov.uk and what should not.

This ensures the site remains the single, trusted source of government project delivery information.

The projectdelivery.gov.uk service team will support you in fulfilling these requirements through the submission process.

The projectdelivery.gov.uk service team regularly reviews the proposition to reflect the changing requirements of both users and government organisations. The Service Owner is accountable for the proposition, with oversight from the Government Head of Function for Project Delivery and Government Head of Profession for Project Delivery.

Who and what projectdelivery.gov.uk is for

Projectdelivery.gov.uk is for:

  • civil and public servants working in a UK government department and select arm’s length bodies. These bodies are ministerial departments, executive agencies, non-departmental public bodies, non ministerial departments, and any other non-market bodies controlled and mainly financed by them.
  • individuals working for a supplier who provide project delivery services to these organisations
  • other public sector bodies that must follow Managing Public Money during the delivery of live programmes and projects

The site impartial and organisation-agnostic. It provides services, information and guidance that only Government Project Delivery can offer.

Content is designed so users can adapt it for their own organisation. Its content and design are user-centred so that interacting with it is accessible, as described in the accessibility statement.

Content and services are continually improved to meet user needs.

Who else can use the site

Some areas of the site are open to a wider audience. The ‘members only’ area is available to public servants in organisations that work closely with UK central government. These are:

  • the Scottish and Welsh governments and the Northern Ireland executive government, including their departments and select arm’s length bodies . These bodies are ministerial departments, executive agencies, non-departmental public bodies, non ministerial departments, and any other non-market bodies controlled and mainly financed by them.
  • Crown Dependency governments
  • legislative and parliamentary bodies, such as the UK Parliament, Northern Ireland Assembly, Welsh Parliament and the Scottish Parliament.
  • statutory corporations that inspect central government services

All other areas of the site are open to the public.

What should go on projectdelivery.gov.uk

All project delivery content and products that are owned by Government Project Delivery, regardless of who produces them, must go on projectdelivery.gov.uk and meet a proven user need.

If the service or information is part of a user journey that is complex then the website service team can support you to coordinate the user journey.

Your content must help users do one of the following:

  • use a UK government project delivery service
  • understand policy for UK government project delivery
  • understand Government Project Delivery’s priorities through a campaign

1 Use a UK government project delivery service

A government project delivery service must be something that is provided for the majority of government project delivery professionals or professionals working within project delivery in central government, for example:

  • government project delivery accreditation
  • guidance, tools and templates

Services can also be non-transactional, helping users find information without submitting personal details. For example, you can check:

  • how to deliver a project

2 Understand policy for UK government project delivery

Policies that apply to the work of government project delivery must be accessible to users. Your content must give users the information they need about a government project delivery policy in a transparent, clear and understandable way. Your content must explain what a user needs to do to comply.

This could be about:

  • how the function or profession is governed and managed
  • the minimum standards and expectations for how project delivery work is delivered
  • how key roles, such as the senior responsible owner, is appointed and held to account
  • how government project delivery practitioners demonstrate their experience, such as through the accreditation scheme

3 Understand the Government Project Delivery’s priorities through a campaign

Campaigns raise awareness about something important, like The Teal Book. News, blogs and events are hosted on the website to support government project delivery campaigns.

Support in making your content suitable can be found in the campaigns standards and guidelines, which is for GOV.UK and aimed at the public, but equally relevant for projectdelivery.gov.uk.

Support on developing good news, blogs and events can be found on publishing content on the Government Project Delivery website.

What should not go on projectdelivery.gov.uk

Your content or service must not go on projectdelivery.gov.uk if it:

  • is from or for users that the service is not delivering for
  • advertises or gives commercial advantage to an organisation
  • contains party political content
  • is for internal work management or better placed on government organisation intranets
  • duplicates content or services on other government websites, such as GOV.UK

If you believe that published content is not meeting user needs, contact the relevant service management team to improve the content.
