Details
Led jointly by HM Treasury and the IPA since 2021, ‘Response to Red’ is a structured approach that aims to improve the delivery of some of the government’s high-cost, high-risk and high-profile projects and programmes. It ensures that programmes on the Government Major Projects Portfolio (GMPP) are best supported to take clear, purposeful and collaborative steps in the event of receiving a ‘Red’ outcome from IPA independent assurance. This may be from a stage gate, programmatic or annual review.
This guidance:
- Aims to support project/programme teams on the structured process set in train by a ‘Red’ assurance outcome from IPA Independent Assurance.
- Sets out the stages of the process, setting expectations, usual timeframes and next steps.
- Fits within a broader framework and should be read within the context of the HM Treasury Approvals Process guidance and the IPA Assurance Workbooks.
It will be useful for any team under going a GMPP assurance review, and may be of useful reference to anyone working on smaller projects or programmes.
