In its Science and Innovation Investment Framework 2004-2014, the Government committed to establishing a Centre of Excellence in Horizon Scanning, to be based in the Foresight directorate of the Government Office for Science. The Centre was established after several surprises including the appearance of Mad Cow disease, severe flooding, and national strikes caused a re-think on required early warning systems.
Work on establishing the Centre started in November 2004. Its output is feeding directly into cross-government priority-setting and strategy formation. The work of the Centre is strongly informed by the science base and by the best of existing work in Government, the private sector, and elsewhere.

The Rahs project, launched in 2005, is managed by the National Security Coordination Centre. According to its website, the Government-wide network comprises "20 agencies covering strategic and operational counter-terrorism intelligence, environmental scanning and scenario planning, bio-medical surveillance, cyber surveillance, maritime security, chemical-biological-radiological-explosives surveillance, energy security and education." The Rahs project was started following the SARS epidemic of 2003 and again concentrates on early warning systems against potential surprise. It takes a whole-of-government approach to anticipating future shocks and unanticipated consequences.
