| DCA (RAG) | Amber |
| DCA text: | The IPA Delivery Confidence Assessment (DCA) rating at Q2 1920 (30th September 2019) was Amber, which has not changed since last year's Q2 1819 Amber, due primarily to the following factors; - The programme remains at Amber status as it continues to manage existing risks resulting from the inherently complex nature of implementing into a multi supplier environment, compounded by other departmental change programmes and EU Exit considerations. - Transition and initial deployment activities continue as planned. Activities include replacement of whole print estate, transformation of local and wide area networks, end user migrations to 0365 tooling suite, Windows10 device rollout and Data Centre infrastructure migration. Since the Q2 1920 (30th September 2019) Amber IPA DCA, the following non-project operating environment activities have impacted the original Q2 IPA DCA; - Since 30.09.19 the programme has continued to engage with Defra EU Exit programme, monitoring any dependencies and supporting the programme itself. The programme prioritised providing new Windows10 devices for EU EXIT Programme new joiners. - Since 30.09.19, the programme has received immediate, medium and long term requirements in response to the Covid-19 outbreak Q4 19/20. This has led to elements of current deployments being reprioritised to support remote working arrangements across the Defra estate approx. 21k users. |

| Schedule text | The scheduled baseline project end date at Q2 1920 (30th September 2019) is 30/04/20, has not changed since last year's Q2 1819 date of 30/04/20, due primarily to the following factors; - Transition and initial deployment activities continued as planned. Activities include replacement of whole print estate, transformation of local and wide area networks, end user migrations to 0365 Tooling suite, Windows10 device rollout and data centre infrastructure migration. Since the Q2 1920 (30th September 2019) baseline project end date of 30/04/20, the following non-project operating environment activities have impacted the original Q2 baseline project end date; - Since 30.09.19, the programme has received immediate, medium and long term requirements in response to the COVID 19 outbreak Q4 19/20. This has led to elements of current deployments being reprioritised to support remote working arrangements across the Defra estate approx. 21k users. The impact of Covid-19 activates are being assessed and may impact the programme end date. |
| Baseline | £140.30m |
| Forecast | £142.70m |
| Variance | 0.02% |
| Variance text: | Budget variance less than 5% |
| Whole Life Cost | £1,067.60m |
| WLCost text: | The baseline Whole Life Cost at Q2 1920 (30th September 2019) is £1,067.60m, has increased by £19.20m since last year's Q2 1819 (£m) baseline Whole Life Cost of £1,048.40m, due primarily to the following factors; - £1,067.6m is the PBC baseline run costs throughout the business case period. It is PBC run costs £982.4m plus Investment costs £85.2m as at baseline in 2016.The £1,048.4m included in Q2 18/19 was an error and should have been £1,067.6m. If the WLC really means how much over the PBC period did we expect the run costs and the investments costs to be; 819.3 plus 85.2 investment costs = 904.5m. 2016 estimation was to spend 904.5m by 22/23 compared to Q2 19/20 forecast of 791.2 run plus 120.4 Investment costs - 911.6m. Baseline to the programme means what were our costs annually at that time when we started the programme 2016. |
