DCA (RAG) Amber
DCA text: Compared to financial year 19/20-Q2, the Infrastructure Project Authority's Delivery Confidence Assessment rating remained at Amber. This is primarily due to the following factors: The DCA remains amber because during 2020, SoTF has been impacted by delays caused by Covid-19 and EU-Exit. Additionally, there has been a significant change in the need to exit a data centre 12 months earlier than expected. The challenges come at a time when there is significant change in leadership with the Programme Director leaving. However, the programme acted swiftly and pragmatically in appointing a replacement.
