Office of Government Commerce (OGC)

The Office of Government Commerce (OGC) was a UK government department responsible for improving the efficiency and effectiveness of public sector procurement and project management. It aimed to ensure value for money in government spending and helped to develop best practices in managing public resources. The OGC provided guidance, tools, and support to government organizations, fostering better collaboration and accountability. In 2010, its functions were incorporated into the Efficiency and Reform Group within the Cabinet Office to streamline operations and enhance public sector reforms.
