Pipeline

Caveats:

1. While a level of certainty is signalled by being on the pipeline, final approvals may be needed by Cabinet, Ministers, or at board and executive level, before a project comes to market. This will depend on project risk and value. The current phase of each project is noted in the project detail.

2. Information on project phasing, where provided, has been included to the nearest quarter.

3. Project data remains the responsibility of the procuring agency and OPV doesn't represent specific projects.
