DCA (RAG) Amber/Green
DCA text: The Infrastructure Project Authority's Delivery Confidence Assessment rating is Amber/Green.This is primarily due to the following factors: The Gateway Review found that the UKSAR2G Programme is a well-established and constructed programme which seeks to deliver a vital emergency service without a loss of continuity to the current Coastguard aviation services. It praised the clear objectives, strong leadership and sound Governance. The review stated that there is a strong evidence base supporting the programme with robust modelling against which the Programme team can assess future potential solutions. It remarked on the high degree of transparency there has been with the market. The review felt that the strategic and economic cases were particularly compelling with a clear delivery strategy and was complimentary of the amount of stakeholder engagement there has been so far. The review stated that the Programme is inclusive of smaller, agile suppliers who might drive innovation. The review team's assessment was influenced by the need to make greater use of project and programme tools, the impact of IFRS16 has on accounting for leases and affordability more generally, and the complexity of the stakeholder community.

Whole Life Cost £2,606.77m
WLCost text: The projects Baseline Whole Life Cost is £2606.77m. This is primarily due to the following factors: Should Cost Modelling for the Outline Business Case (OBC) has presented a contract price of £2.607bn incl. irrecoverable VAT for a 10 year operational period. The OBC has cleared DfT's approval boards, the Cabinet Office and HM Treasury. It has been agreed with DfT and HM Treasury that pre-operational costs will be based on a milestone approach and these will be paid to suppliers as services commence at each base under UKSAR2G. This approach means that more costs will be brought forward into the early part of the contract, but the later years will reduce accordingly and the overall effect is a £115m budget saving. The Spending Review submission for 2021 will illustrate this clearly.
