| Departmental narrative on budget/forecast variance for 2017/18 (if variance is more than 5%) | Rate of spend has decreased in 2017/18 as a result of delivery now focused in harder to reachareas which require more planning time and more complex wayleaves before deployment can takeplace. Also, in 2017/18 Openreach focused on commercial delivery (areas not requiring publicsubsidy) at the expense of BDUK delivery, in order to support the 95% UK target. This was agreedwith Ministers. | An additional 拢55.8m was approved by HM Treasury in March 2017 taking the total amount of capital released to date to 拢61.2m (拢5.4m was approved by HMT Treasury in June 2016). 皇冠体育app forecast of 拢68.41m is based on the first draft of the museums' OBCs submitted in spring 2016 and the baseline 拢62.60m is based on the original HM Treasury capital allocation. | 皇冠体育app OFCOM capital budget has been increased to 拢86.3m to reflect the approved budget supplementary amendments. 皇冠体育app 2017-18 OFCOM YTD capital spend is 拢67,183k and the FY forecast is 拢84,297k. 皇冠体育app YTD spend is 拢10.4m under budget due to delays & rephasing of groundworks, site costs at Emley Moore, Reigate and Rowridge and rephasing various other works. 皇冠体育app FY forecast has decreased from December by 拢818k due to further rephrasing of various works to 18-19, the largest relating to Emerly More temporary masts, supplier mobilization and Muxco own costs. |
