| Description: | Refurbishment and upgrading of key buildings on our Washington, USA, compound. |
| 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; - Good progress has been made on the full business case planned for November 2019. An IPA Gateway 3 Review in September kept the programme at Amber, but it would have been Amber Green if not for contractor bids above pre-tender estimates. The project remains an FCO priority and there is confidence in delivery. Since the Q2 1920 (30th September 2019) Amber IPA DCA, the following non-project operating environment activities have impacted the original Q2 IPA DCA; - COVID-19 has forced the closure of the construction site. The project is currently suspended. The timing of any resumption remains uncertain and obviously dependent on the success of the wider response to the pandemic Since the Q2 1920 (30th September 2019) Amber IPA DCA, the following primary project actions have impacted the original Q2 IPA DCA; - Project progress since September remained on track until the COVID-19 impact. The FBC was approved by both FCO Management Board and HMT, the construction contract was subsequently signed with the preferred bidder and activity started on site in early 2020 as per programme. |

The impact of COVID-19 is uncertain, but completion dates remain unchanged at present, as there are opportunities to re-profile construction activities depending upon the changed operating environment (e.g. limits on entertainment/events) |
