| Departmental commentary on actions planned or taken on the IPA RAG rating. | 皇冠体育app Home Office and the Infrastructure and Project Authority (IPA) are engaged and providing assistance. DBS is working with stakeholders and suppliers to deliver the next Programme releases. | 皇冠体育app CCD programme is now scheduled to close in March 2018 and is transitioning to a new sustainment arrangement. | In the light of continuing challenges with some of the authority projects and subsequent evidence of further slippage from the main suppliers, work has started on a full scale programme re-plan. 皇冠体育app aim is to complete the re-plan, engage in commercial renegotiations and recalculate the Full Business Case (FBC) numbers by late September 2018 | A formal review of IPT was performed by the Infrastructure and Projects Authority (IPA) in May 2016. A further independent review was undertaken in July 2016 and the IPA reviewed the resulting action plan in August 2016, following which they assessed the status of the programmeas Amber. 皇冠体育app recommendations made by the IPA and the Independent Review were accepted by IPT and progress of the associated actions is reviewed by the Programme Board on a monthly basis. | Following a critical friend review in March 2017, the Programme has successfully taken forward the actions presented on strengthening dependency management, bolstering resources and completion of a training needs analysis. | 皇冠体育app Programme has made good progress in implementing the recommendations from the last Major Projects Review Group (MPRG) meeting. | 皇冠体育app Programme has an Amber RAG rating following its last independent assurance review (May 2017). A visible increase in enthusiasm, commitment, pace, focus and detail across the programme was noted by the independent review team. Whilst remaining a complex programme, the review gave confidence in the team to address recommendations. 皇冠体育appse included refreshed governance, developing product management capability beyond the life of the programme, and refining scope. All have been or are being addressed. | A timetable for the publication of the Biometrics Strategy in spring 2018 has been agreed. An independent assurance review was completed on 18 May 2017 when the Programme received an Amber/Green rating. 皇冠体育app resulting actions were progressed and are closed following review by the Home Office Portfolio, Investment and Change Committee. | Exempt under Sections 24 (National Security) and 31(1) (Law Enforcement) of the Freedom of Information Act (2000) | 皇冠体育app Programme has an Amber RAG rating following its last independent assurance reviewand an action plan has been developed to address key risks and issues that could impact delivery. | 皇冠体育app Programme has a defined Product roadmap and development work is underway on Production code. However, limited metrics are available to determine if the current build velocity will fully support the Programme's key milestones. 皇冠体育app Programme is regularly engaging with all stakeholder groups to raise awareness and build confidence. 皇冠体育app focus on stakeholder engagement as well as building capability Is having a positive impact on stakeholder perceptions of the Programme. | 皇冠体育app Project's IPA RAG rating is Amber as good progress has been made on the options evaluation resulting in the Differentiated Support Model being selected as the preferred delivery model; and Targeted Service Improvement being the preferred requirements improvements. Both have been taken forward in the Outline Business Case (OBC) which was submitted for Home Office approval on 8 September 2017.

| Departmental narrative on schedule, including any deviation from planned schedule (if necessary) | Barring and Basics (Business to Business) was successfully implemented from 1-4 September 2017. 皇冠体育app Programme is now focusing on Basics (Customer to Business) and Disclosure delivery, the dates for which remain indicative. | 皇冠体育app programme will close on 31 March 2018 and is transitioning to a new sustainment arrangement. | 皇冠体育app Programme is working to clarify with confidence when ESN will be Service Ready and Transition can start. 皇冠体育app Mobilisation phase of the Programme has been extended by 9 months following completion of CR110. 皇冠体育app next phase, Transition, was due to commence in June 2018 but further supplier slippage is likely. We have been working with Business Change Leads and Senior Service Users to understand the impacts of delay to Transition. 皇冠体育app Programme re-planning exercise will determine the financial impact on Mobilisation, Transition and Airwave extensions beyond the current planned National Shutdown Date (NSD) of 31 December 2019. | Some slippage in interim deliverables. A revised roadmap taking into account slippage, additional work and lessons learned has been agreed by the Programme Board. 皇冠体育app Programme continues to deliver agile business services into live operational use. | Following the awarding of contracts to the Accenture/Certus consortium, the Programme has mobilised resources and has now commenced design workshops. 皇冠体育app Programme is running to schedule. | 皇冠体育app Border Crossings Pilot continues to progress to schedule, releasing fingerprinting capability into the pilot environment in Edinburgh on 26 September 2017. Advanced Freight Targeting Capability (AFTC) delivered their next major release in December 2017. 皇冠体育app scope and delivery strategy for Advance Border Control (ABC) has been baselined. | 皇冠体育app Programme's 2017/18 business case, comprehensively revised and updated, has been agreed within the department and is with Cabinet Office and HM Treasury for approval. It included new delivery dates for End User Compute elements of the Programme, which enable large elements of legacy contract termination. 皇冠体育app delivery schedule has been published, and is being delivered against. | 皇冠体育app HOB Programme Plan reflects the latest programme/project delivery position. HOB鈥檚 Strategic Projects - Matcher, Mobile, Central & Bureau, and DNA are progressing. Timelines and funding remain challenging to deliver all HOB project activities. | Exempt under Sections 24 (National Security) and 31(1) (Law Enforcement) of the Freedom of Information Act (2000) | Waves 1 and 2 are nearing completion and the programme is well set to deliver the benefits set out in its business case. DEFRA is confirmed as the new tenant in 2 Marsham Street Seacole building. | NLEDP is tracking to schedule. This remains challenging and whilst security accreditation controls are increasing pressure on the schedule, activities are in flight to manage and mitigate any potential impact. | Key milestones were rebaselined in March 2017 to allow more time to synthesize stakeholder feedback and to increase engagement with the market. |

| Departmental narrative on budget/forecast variance for 2017/18 (if variance is more than 5%) | Delays in project implementation have led to additional CDEL and RDEL costs during 2017/18 which were not originally forecast and will be off-set by income. | Exempt under Section 24 of Freedom of Information Act 2000 (National Security) | Budget variance less than 5% | Budget variance less than 5% | Budget variance less than 5% | Budget variance less than 5% | 皇冠体育app B/F variance in this template has resulted from change in scope rather than a specific overspend that Finance could identify. It should be noted that the baseline numbers, i.e. budget of 拢55.4m, arise from the previously approved business case and the forecast of 拢96.5m comes from the recently submitted one. Noteworthy changes that have caused this are setup of the PMO; further investment in change (one-off and recurring) for new services, delay in delivery causing the Programme to run for longer and for existing services to be extended in contrast to original estimates on when the programme was going to deliver and wind-down. | Budget variance less than 5% | Exempt under Sections 24 (National Security) and 31(1) (Law Enforcement) of the Freedom of Information Act (2000) | 皇冠体育app Full Year (FY) forecast is 拢45.40m, representing a 拢2.24m overspend compared to the 拢43.13m FY budget. This is due to increased costs associated with further Home Office Digital Data and Technology (HODDaT) requirements to place additional staff in Southern House. 皇冠体育app Programme is working to reduce this overspend wherever possible. | Following extensive review of the Programme's plans and deliverables (as captured in the 2017 programme business case update), there was a requirement to bring forward some of the funding allocated to future years on the back of accelerated delivery plans. | Recruitment of staff into the Project Team took longer than anticipated, so not all of the budget was spent. |
| Departmental Narrative on Budgeted Whole Life Costs | Corporate activity levels and disclosure volumes are higher than originally planned which has increased costs. However, these are fully funded by increased income from product charges. | Exempt under Section 24 of Freedom of Information Act 2000 (National Security) | ESMCP received approval from ESN Sponsors and HM Treasury on 6 June 2017 for the whole life cost of the Programme including risk and contingency. ESMCP will regularly review emerging actual costs against the approved Financial Model and where necessary release risk/contingency or seek re-approval from the Sponsors and HM Treasury. | 皇冠体育app whole life cost has been revised to reflect the revised delivery timetable. | 皇冠体育app Programme is currently running within the whole life costs approved by Cabinet Office and the Home Office Portfolio, Investment and Change Committee. | 皇冠体育app DSAB financial model includes Optimism Bias, VAT, inflation and business as usual costs. Project costs to closure reflect Programme costs to the end of 2018-19. | 皇冠体育app whole life costs have been revised following a revision of the business case to reflect the revised delivery timetable and scope. This presented a revised programme Net Present Value (NPV) of +拢61.5m, and a revised Whole Life (outturn) Cost (WLC) of 拢420.40m. This excludes current essential Business as Usual technology services, as with the previous WLC figure, but includes all Change Programme Costs as well as New Run Costs within the WLC calculation. 皇冠体育app Programme shows a positive NPV against a baseline (Do Minimum) option, which estimated the costs of a "Like for Like Re-Procurement" of a contract for current services. | 皇冠体育app 拢90.90m cost for 17-18 programme spend, including run costs, has been taken from the latest programme business case, which was approved and baselined in June 2017. 皇冠体育app next iteration of the business case will be due for approval in early 18-19. Whole life costs have increased by 拢83m since 16-17 due to a comprehensive reconsideration and revaluation of current run costs. | Exempt under Sections 24 (National Security) and 31(1) (Law Enforcement) of the Freedom of Information Act (2000) | Whole life costs are on target. | In return for an investment of 拢115m (excluding adjustments for Optimism Bias which is a further 拢40m), the Programme expects to reduce future running costs by more than 50% (excluding change investment) from 拢37m per year to around 拢13m (excluding Optimism Bias). 皇冠体育app new services will be rolled out in stages. This is forecast to be from early 2019 onwards, enabling the early release of cost savings on existing systems (but taking into account the capacity of users to take on associated business change from other law enforcement programmes). 皇冠体育app investment comprises 拢62.1m of Capital and 拢53.4m of Resource investment (excluding Optimism Bias). 皇冠体育app business case is refreshed each year to align costs/budget with revisions to business deliverables - these revisions will increasingly firm-up deliverable dates and costs and should reduce the degree of uncertainty (Optimism Bias) associated with cost forecasts in future years. | 皇冠体育app OBC submitted to the Home Office Portfolio, Investment and Change Committee in September 2017 and to HM Treasury in October 2017 included costs for the preferred delivery model, encompassing the whole life cost of the new contracts from September 2019 onwards. This is estimated at 拢3,381m-拢5,796m, depending on demand (a range of possible scenarios has been modelled). 皇冠体育app 拢7.51m displayed in the total budgeted whole life costs reflects the Project Team costs only, as these were the only known costs prior to development of the OBC. |
