Description: Delivering the vision of the community-led Grenfell Tower Memorial Commission for a fitting memorial for the bereaved, survivors and Grenfell community, recognising the Grenfell Tower fire tragedy and honouring those who lost their lives.
DCA (RAG) Amber
DCA text: The Infrastructure Project Authority's Delivery Confidence Assessment rating is Amber.This is primarily due to the following factors: The DCA rating was Amber due to the following factors: - A decision on the future of the Tower is due to be taken by the Secretary of State in the summer of 2021. - Technical evidence about the Tower will be published and shared with bereaved, survivors and the community from May 2021 prior to a decision on the future of the Tower by the Secretary of State. - Engagement and decision making about the Tower should align with the principles set out in the Written Ministerial Statement laid in Parliament in November 2018, otherwise there is a risk to successfully delivering the vision of the Grenfell Tower Memorial Commission for a fitting memorial for bereaved, survivors and the community.
Start date 2019-07-15
End date 2026-04-30
Schedule text The project end-date is 30 April 2026. This is primarily due to the following factors: - Delays to the procurement of a new principal contractor for safety works required to the Tower, as a decision was taken by the Secretary of State to undertake an open market procurement for the safety works, rather than use a procurement framework. - The Grenfell Tower Memorial Commission will determine the scope of their report in 2021 and this may impact the programme's schedule.
Baseline £28.30m
Forecast £20.83m
Variance -26.00%
Variance text: The budget variance exceeds 5%. - RDEL: The programme has worked hard to replace contractors and consultants with civil servants which has resulted in value for money savings. Due to Covid-19, in person community events have not happened as planned and virtual events have been organised instead which have been significantly cheaper. This has meant that the RDEL cost has been lower than the full cost and budget expected at the start of the period. - CDEL: Delays to the procurement of a new principal contractor and subsequent safety work has meant that the CDEL cost is lower than the full cost and budget expected at the start of the period.
Whole Life Cost £171.41m
WLCost text: The projects Baseline Whole Life Cost is £171.41m. This is primarily due to the following factors: - The programme's budgeted whole life costs include the costs needed to deliver the responsibilities associated with ownership of the site until the land is prepared for future use determined by the Grenfell Tower Memorial Commission. - HMT approved Full Business Case 1 to cover the costs need to carry out the final stage of the essential safety works, including phase 3 propping. This work is projected to conclude in May 2022. - A subsequent business case will be needed to cover further costs in preparing the site for future use, assumed to be a memorial. Most of these costs will occur beyond June 2022. - The programme has increased the costs of the programme due to additional responsibility for work previously carried out by the Grenfell Recovery team.
