Underlying the OGC Gateway process is a set of guiding Brand principles which define what Gateway is. These are applied by all Gateway users to maintain brand standards.
OGC Gateway Reviews deliver a "peer review" in which independent practitioners from outside the programme/project use their experience and expertise to examine the progress and likelihood of successful delivery of the programme or project.

Why getting programmes right matters
Programmes and projects provide an important vehicle for the efficient and timely delivery of government aims. Procurement expenditure through programmes and projects is therefore a significant, and increasing, proportion of total government expenditure. Good and effective management and control of programmes and projects is, therefore, essential to the successful delivery of government objectives. The OGC Gateway Process is designed to provide independent guidance to SROs, programme and project teams and to the departments who commission their work, on how best to ensure that their programmes and projects are successful.
