Introduction| Table 1.16 Major Equipment Projects | ||||
| This table shows the MOD's major equipment projects as at 31 March 2008. It details the 20 largest projects on which the main investment decision has been taken (post Main-Gate) and the 10 largest projects yet to reach that point (pre Main-Gate). The information is taken from the Major Projects Report, relating to 31 March 2008, which provides a summary of each project's current status and progress to date. Costs are on a resource basis at outturn prices. Forecast costs include accruals, VAT (less recoverable elements), resource elements such as interest on capital and inflation factors. Major Project Report costs relating to the pre-Main Gate projects are costs of the Assessment phase only. For post Main-Gate projects, costs are of the Demonstration and Manufacture phases. The following diagram shows the CADMID cycle which is the basis for MOD Smart Procurement. The main investment decision is taken at Main-Gate, ie post assessment phase with the aim of ensuring that there is a high level of confidence in achieving time, cost and performance targets. Further information is contained in the Major Projects report. |
