DCA (RAG) Amber
DCA text: Compared to financial year 19/20-Q2, the Infrastructure Project Authority's Delivery Confidence Assessment rating decreased from Amber/Red to Amber. This is primarily due to the following factors: DSaB is making good progress and on schedule to complete by 31 March 2022; the new digital checking system went live on 20 November 2020 and is live at 15 of the 56 air, maritime and Juxtaposed ports in scope (including 4 of the UK's busiest airports). Work to end reliance on legacy systems by 31 March 2022 is on schedule; detailed planning is complete. A joint exit plan with the supplier of the legacy system is under review.
Start date 2014-02-12
End date 2022-03-31
Schedule text Compared to financial year 19/20-Q2, the project's end-date increased from 31 March 2019 to 31 March 2022 This is primarily due to the following factors: Factors that prevented delivery within the original business case period ending March 2019 included: The UK's decision to leave the European Union (EU), increased ambition for Intelligence and Targeting; and changes to data classification. These factors culminated in the need to reset the programme in 2019; defining the scope more clearly, enhancing governance and reinforcing leadership. Since reset the programme has remained on schedule and within budget tolerances.

WLCost text: Compared to financial year 19/20-Q2, the projects Baseline Whole Life Cost increased from £452.10m to £596.00m. This is primarily due to the following factors: The 19/20 financial year was used to initiate a programme "reset", resulting in the development of a new business case that included programme delivery costs to 21/22 plus eight further years of sustainment and live run costs. The revised business case was approved in the later part of 19/20 hence the cost increases were not shown in the 19/20 return based on Q2 data.
