| Description: | Emergency Services Mobile Communications Programme (ESMCP) is a cross government programme to deliver the new Emergency Services Network (ESN) critical communications system; replacing the current technology Airwave. ESN will transform emergency services' communications, by moving away from the largely 'voice only' proprietary and legacy Airwave radio system to a new combined voice and data service that leverages off-the-shelf technology and reuses commercial mobile telephone networks. Enhancements exist to prioritise emergency service calls above regular commercial traffic on the mobile network. |
| 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 Amber/Red rating reflects that the Full Business Case (FBC) is being collaboratively re-worked with Senior Users in readiness for approval in summer 2021. In conjunction with the revision of the FBC, a priority focus is engagement with suppliers to ensure the delivery plan meets user requirements. The new full-time Senior Responsible Owner (SRO) is working with the programme to gain support with Senior Stakeholders and amongst the user communities. User engagement continues with a full engagement plan developed to increase user confidence. |

| Schedule text | Compared to financial year 19/20-Q2, the project's end-date increased from 31 December 2022 to 19 November 2024 This is primarily due to the following factors: A programme re-plan is underway and the programme is updating its FBC in conjunction with the service users for consideration and approval in summer 2021. A key aspect of this will be ensuring that the rollout schedule is technically deliverable, acceptable to service users and delivers value for money at an acceptable level of risk. |
