| Variance | -0.40% |
| Variance text: | The 19/20 in-year baseline / forecast variance at Q2 1920 (30th September 2019) of -40%, is due primarily to the following factors; - The programme has identified whole life savings against the SR2015 Funding Profile of over £200m and forecast costs have been reprofiled to reflect the current requirements. - Budget savings have been made against all areas of delivery specifically the infrastructure clearance, viewer support and PMSE costs. Since the Q2 1920 (30th September 2019) 19/20 in-year baseline / forecast variance of -40%, the following non-project operating environment activities have impacted the original Q2 19/20 in-year baseline / forecast variance; - The COVID-19 virus has caused the infrastructure programme to be delayed, extending the viewer support programme and slipping some costs into 2020-21. |
