Please supply all items of information in the Gateway Review completed in 2024 on 'Transition to a NDPB' which is named on this list.

Response

I have included copies of the information you have requested in Annex B.

On reviewing materials within the scope of your request, exceptions have been applied in line with the FOISA. The exceptions applied can be found in Annex A.

You may also find it helpful if we explain that Gateway Reviews are conducted for the Scottish Government and associated public sector organisations to help support the successful delivery of projects by ensuring that good programme and project management practice is being used; that key risks are actively managed and to identify any learning points for better practice. The report(s) contain only a snapshot of the project at a particular point in time and since these reports were produced progress will have been made in addressing any recommendations for improvement.
