DCA (RAG) Amber/Red
DCA text: Compared to financial year 19/20-Q2, the Infrastructure Project Authority's Delivery Confidence Assessment rating remained at Amber/red. This is primarily due to the following factors: The IPA made seven recommendations to improve the project and programme management of the T Level delivery for larger successive waves. We have made significant progress in addressing all the recommendations and meet on a monthly basis with the IPA to keep them informed of the progress we are making. The Technical Education Reform Board are sighted at bi-monthly intervals, on the progress we are making. The Major Projects Team at DfE have also provided us with additional support to ensure we remain on track to deliver T Levels in future waves. We will be carrying out our own internal review of the progress made against the assurance of action plan in June 2021.
