UK Pilot Disclosure
The UK has taken a lead by disclosing information from eight public sector construction projects. The information supplied by the four procuring entities was scrutinised by an independent Assurance Team appointed by the UK MSG. The Assurance Team produced reports and report card summaries on each of the eight projects highlighting any emerging issues.
