Past reviews

There have been 3 reviews of the scheme since it began in 2001.

The first 2 reviews focused on the operation of the scheme and whether it was meeting its purpose, rather than on more technical issues.

The third review looked at modernising and future proofing the scheme. It aimed to improve and strengthen the scheme’s effectiveness, while making sure it is appropriately agile and supports innovation.
