| Baseline | £12.50m |
| Forecast | £4.50m |
| Variance | -64.00% |
| Variance text: | As of 25/03/13 The 12/13 budget is now £10m and the forecast is zero. Projected spend in 12/13 is less then originally forecast. The MIP was a highly complex proposal, needing the detailed agreement of the MNOs and Government to allow it to proceed. It took a little longer than we had hoped to reach a position which was acceptable to all. DCMS has agreed a budget re-profile with HMT which has brought the budget profile into line with forecast expenditure. |
| Whole Life Cost | £154.50m |
| WLCost text: | DCMS funding will cover the capital cost requirements to build the masts. Operating costs will be the responsibility of the supplier. |
