The Government Major Projects Portfolio (GMPP) is a selection of UK government projects which have high levels of complexity, impact or risk. Since 2013 a progress report has been published each year by the IPA with basic data for projects in the portfolio that year. This data has been collated and republished here as a searchable database (2023 data is partially loaded). Links to associated reviews, contracts and suppliers are under development.

Data loading notes:

Currently there are 1903 reports from 652 separate projects covering years 2013-2023. Data loading for 2023 is not yet complete.
The reports are usually published in July using data from March or September in the previous year. Data for 2023-24 has not yet been published.
All data is from IPA/MPA published transparency data except 2013 which is from departmental websites or National Archives. NS&I data for 2013 is no longer available.
Project names have been standardised to allow for naming differences from year to year.
Category assignments prior to 2019 are from an FOI request to the Cabinet Office.
Some project categories have varied from year to year. Categories for 2013 are provisional as none were published for that year.
More information about the project is often available from the link to Google search on the project name.
Links to Contracts data for each project are under development.
