Description: The Customer Engagement Programme (CEP) is the Telephony based programme that over time allows HMRC to transform the way we interact with customers, becoming a more effective and efficient organisation, driving digital take up where appropriate and providing improved tools to support our colleagues to resolve customer contact effectively through a 'once and done' approach.
DCA (RAG) Amber/Red
DCA text: The Infrastructure Project Authority's Delivery Confidence Assessment rating is Amber/red.This is primarily due to the following factors: Overall Programme remains at Amber/Red to reflect issues affecting the Advisor User Interface (AUI). A Taskforce has been established to resolve technical/behavioural issues arising since deployment. HMRC re-affirmed this is a 'must do' Programme and advised funding is largely confirmed easing existing pressures on programme affordability. Additional reviews will ensure the Programme keeps within budget whilst managing both pressures and opportunities. The programme continues to progress to plan with the Delivery Confidence Assessment status expected to improve once AUI issues are resolved.
