| Description: | The enhancements provided by the North of England Programme will support economic growth, bring improved journey times, offer additional train services and enable modern trains to run across the North. |
| DCA (RAG) | Amber/Red |
| DCA text: | The IPA Delivery Confidence Assessment (DCA) rating at Q2 1920 (30th September 2019) was Amber/Red, which has declined since last year's Q2 1819 Amber, due primarily to the following factors; - At the time of reporting there was significant uncertainty around elements of programme scope relating to the Trans Pennine Route upgrade, caused by an exercise to re-evaluate costs and scope of the programme to align to the DfT funding envelope. This resulted in a decrease in delivery confidence for the whole programme, of which the Trans Pennine Route Upgrade was the next major element. Since the Q2 1920 (30th September 2019) Amber/Red IPA DCA, the following primary project actions have impacted the original Q2 IPA DCA; - Since Q2 19/20 the Trans Pennine Route Upgrade has been separated from the North of England Programme and established as a standalone programme on the GMPP. The North of England Programme was closed from GMPP in December 2019, and therefore doesn't have a current DCA. |
| Start date | 2009-07-23 |
| End date | 2022-12-31 |
| Schedule text | The scheduled baseline project end date at Q2 1920 (30th September 2019) is 31/12/22, has not changed since last year's Q2 1819 date of 31/12/22, due primarily to the following factors; - At the time of reporting the programme had completed a number of significant milestones and was on track to complete delivery in line with its completion date. Since the Q2 1920 (30th September 2019) baseline project end date of 31/12/22, the following primary project actions have impacted the original Q2 baseline project end date; - Since Q2 19/20 the Trans Pennine Route Upgrade has been separated from the North of England Programme and established as a standalone programme on the GMPP. The North of England Programme was closed from GMPP in December 2019. |
| Baseline | £753.00m |
| Forecast | £251.00m |
| Variance | -0.67% |
| Variance text: | The 19/20 in-year baseline / forecast variance at Q2 1920 (30th September 2019) of -67%, is due primarily to the following factors; - Delivery of programme scope relating to the Trans Pennine Route Upgrade was delayed as the programme underwent an exercise to re-evaluate costs and scope of the programme to align to the DfT funding envelope. Spend associated with that delivery was therefore also delayed, resulting in reduced spend in this reporting period. - Some smaller schemes within the programme were also delayed or descoped, resulting in a reduced spend. Since the Q2 1920 (30th September 2019) 19/20 in-year baseline / forecast variance of -67%, the following primary project actions have impacted the original Q2 19/20 in-year variance; - Since Q2 1920 the Trans Pennine Route Upgrade has been established as a standalone programme on the GMPP, and now reports separately to the North of England Programme. As a result in year costs for the North of England Programme have decreased. The North of England Programme has been closed. |
| Whole Life Cost | £5,849.00m |
| WLCost text: | The baseline Whole Life Cost at Q2 1920 (30th September 2019) is £5,849.00m, has decreased by £203.00m since last year's Q2 1819 (£m) baseline Whole Life Cost of £6,052.00m, due primarily to the following factors; - A reduction in scope of the North of England Programme, as a result of some schemes within the programme being descoped. - Further certainty of WLC for the programme as estimates mature through the development, design and delivery phases. Since the Q2 1920 (30th September 2019) £5,849.00m baseline Whole Life Cost, the following primary project actions have impacted the original Q2 baseline Whole Life Cost; - Since Q2 19/20 the Trans Pennine Route Upgrade has been established as a standalone programme on the GMPP, and now reports its whole life cost separately to the North of England Programme. As a result whole life costs for the North of England Programme have decreased. |
