The Department has the second largest capital portfolio in government including many very large, complex, and long-term projects.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Principal Risk rating reflects both the impact and probability of risks materialising and so, in this case, the size and complex nature of the portfolio has produced the red rating.<\/p>

<\/p>

DfT actively manages this Principal Risk at both a project and portfolio level and in line with its risk management policy. Improving the Department\u2019s project delivery capability and capacity has been a priority and the Department is now in the second phase of its Project Delivery Improvement Programme.<\/p>
