Delivering Major Infrastructure Projects: Specialised project delivery bodies
- Date: 12/10/2020
In order to remain competitive and provide positive outcomes for citizens, governments have a duty to invest in infrastructure. A recent Northern Ireland Audit Office (NIAO) report has reviewed the delivery of eleven major capital projects in Northern Ireland (NI) and identified a series of issues in terms of project delivery that have resulted in delays and cost overruns.
