Open Project System (OPS)
GLA's grant and project management system
The Open Project System (OPS), is the GLA’s grant and project management system which organisations can use to submit bids for funding.
The system is used to:
- enable partners to create and submit new bids for grant funding
-
assess and approve bids
-
monitor project progress (both internal GLA projects and those submitted by partners)
-
report on key milestones, outputs, and risks
-
authorise payments and issue reclaims – which then get sent over to SAP for payment
-
monitor budgets, expenditure, and forecasts
-
audit changes and record delegated decisions.
-
submit and approve recycled grant annual returns
-
manage partner due diligence.
How do I register?
If your organisation is not registered on OPS
If your organisation is not yet registered on the system, a user within your organisation should make a request to register a new organisation by visiting the OPS login page and clicking 'Register an Organisation’. This user will become your organisation admin once the request has been approved. They can then approve additional users from your organisation and create profiles for other departments.
If you are not sure if your organisation is registered or do not know the name of your organisation admin, please ask your lead GLA contact who will be able to look this up for you or email [email protected] with your organisation name and ID if you have one.
If your organisation is registered on OPS
If your organisation is already registered, you can gain access by contacting your organisation admin. They will provide you with your organisation’s registration key which you will need when registering. They will also approve your request and assign you a role.
