Office of Government Commerce (UK)

The Office of Government Commerce (OGC) was a part of the UK government aimed at improving public sector efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Established in 2000, it provided guidance and best practices for procurement and project management across government departments. The OGC developed tools like the Gateway Review process to ensure projects were on track and delivered value. In 2010, it was merged into the Efficiency and Reform Group as part of a broader effort to streamline government operations. Its legacy continues to influence public sector procurement strategies today.
