OffPAT is a membership network that operates a value for money, shared services approach to programme and project best practice. Our aim is to support the growth of effective programme and project cultures within our member organisations as they support the development, appraisal, delivery and evaluation of economic development and regeneration projects and programmes.
OffPAT provides its members with an efficient and effective means to:
- access the many sources of central government project and programme requirements
- maximise the use of resources, time and cost in reviewing and applying mandatory government guidance
- learn from one another and strengthen the transfer of best practice
- collaborate for a common understanding of the project and programme topics; to adopt common practices, to develop collective responses to consultations
- avoid duplication of effort in developing and disseminating good practice on a common basis across the network.
This website is managed primarily for the benefit for OffPAT member organisations; its contents may also be of interest and use to a wider audience. The information we publish includes:
- OffPAT Business Plan, Annual Report and Bulletin – these set out what we do
- OffPAT Information and Advice Notes on project and programme topics
- Guidance and Technical Notes of relevance to our members
Links to other useful guidance, toolkits, publications or websites sorted by categories of interest to us. - Please note, due to changes arising from the Lisbon Treaty, many links to the EU and to its Europa site are currently broken as the sites are being rebuilt.
