The Project Control Framework
This framework sets out how we, together with the Department for Transport, manage and deliver major road improvement projects.
The Motorways and Major Trunk Roads Programme
Introduction
The Motorways and Major Trunk Roads Programme, consists of over 100 projects costing more than £10 million. These projects are either publically funded or financed through public-private partnerships. By the end of financial year 2010/11, we had completed over 70 major schemes with 4 major schemes being completed in 2010/11.
Following the Spending Review announcement in October 2010, the Government announced plans to invest £1.4 billion on Major Road improvements through to the end of financial year 2014/15. Included within the programme are 11 Managed Motorways schemes, which make better use of the existing network through the use of the hard shoulder.
In financial year 2011/12, we plan to make a start on 2 Managed Motorway schemes and a Trunk road improvement scheme and complete three major schemes.
Further details of the schemes announced can be found in the latest Spending Review.
Our Goal
Within the £1.4bn funding announced by the Government, we expect to be able to start 14 schemes over the period April 2011 to March 2015 (subject to the completion of statutory processes where necessary).
This programme is achievable because we will be bearing down hard on our costs and the costs of our supply chain. We are looking to the construction industry to work with us to achieve these savings through a range of measures including certainty of forward work programmes, value engineering and efficiencies in use of materials, labour and equipment.
Project Monitoring and Control
On 1st April 2008 we launched the Project Control Framework in our Major Projects Directorate. The Framework sets out how we, together with the Department for Transport, manage and deliver major improvement projects. It is designed to ensure that we deliver road projects which meet our customers' aspirations in a cost efficient and timely manner.
The framework includes a project lifecycle which breaks down the development and delivery of a major project into 3 phases and 7 stages.
