<p>The Government Major Projects Portfolio (GMPP) is a continually evolving portfolio
of the government’s most complex and high risk projects. Direct comparisons of the
GMPP across years should therefore be treated with caution. Projects join and leave
the GMPP throughout the year and it is therefore likely that a simple comparison across
two time points will refer to different sets of projects.</p><p> </p><p>At the end
of June 2016 (i.e. the end of the Quarter 1 reporting period for 2016-17), 320 Full
Time Equivalent (FTE) public sector employees were reported as working on the Department
for Transport’s GMPP projects.</p><p> </p><p>GMPP data for December 2018 (Q3 2018/19)
has not yet been cleared and finalised. At the end of September 2018 (i.e. the latest
submitted data, at end of the Quarter 2 reporting period for 2018-19), 361 Full Time
Equivalent (FTE) public sector employees were reported as working on the Department
for Transport’s GMPP projects.</p><p> </p><p>Given the different nature of the projects
and programmes within the Department for Transport, some of the FTE figures include
public sector employees in the relevant arms-length-body.</p>
