1.3 Project Execution Plan (Gateway 3)

The Project Execution Plan (PEP) is a critical construction phase master file which the Project Director is required to maintain throughout the construction period. (Gateway 3 and 4)

It incorporates and will build upon the Project Initiation Document (PID), Outline Business Case and Full Business Case developed and approved earlier in the project lifecycle. (See Programme and Project Organisation and Business Case Sections for further details).

The PEP should be updated to reflect work to date and the proposed agreement to be made between the client and construction supply chain.

This section provides a detailed checklist of specific tasks to be undertaken by the Project Director at Gateway 3.
