| Description: | The UK exited the European Union on 31 January 2020. From 1 January 2021 free movement ended and was replaced by a new points based immigration system. The Future Border and Immigration System (FBIS) will enable the UK to take back control of our border; it will simplify, enable and digitise our systems to put customers at the heart of a firmer, fairer and easier to navigate border and immigration system. |
| 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: Programme confidence was assessed as Amber/Red in January 2021 by the Infrastructure and Projects Authority (IPA) assessment with a clear set of recommendations to move to an Amber rating by the end of the summer 2021. Work is underway to address these recommendations on scope, the development of the business case, articulating benefits, updating the Senior Responsible Owner (SRO) letters to reflect how the programme has moved on, dependencies and resources. The programme is now working to a new baselined delivery plan and resource plan and intends to publish a Strategy Statement setting out the scope in detail. |
| Start date | 2018-04-01 |
| End date | 2025-03-31 |
| Schedule text | The project end-date is 31 March 2025. This is primarily due to the following factors: The programme successfully delivered the Points Based System last year before the end of freedom of movement on 31 December 2020. The programmes plans going forward are set out in a strategy statement which includes the key upcoming deliverables for 2021/22 and the vision for the border and immigration system to the end of 2024. This combines the programmes commitment to delivering a strong customer experience through a simplified, streamlined, user-centric system with how we will improve control by knowing who is coming in the UK and leaving, whilst increasing compliance. |
| Baseline | £177.50m |
| Forecast | £149.65m |
| Variance | -16.00% |
| Variance text: | The budget variance exceeds 5%. Underspends are largely a result of reduced demand resulting from COVID-19 restrictions. This has meant less case working has been required on cases; and less communication activity taking place. |
| Whole Life Cost | £3,344.55m |
| WLCost text: | The projects Baseline Whole Life Cost is £3344.55m. This is primarily due to the following factors: Costs are for the development and implementation of the United Kingdom's Future Border and Immigration System; as well as the running costs for the additional demand as a result of the new system. The baseline Whole Life Costs provided here have been created by bringing together material from different business cases. 2020/21 baselines have been derived from the Outline Business Case (OBC) approved by Treasury in March 2020 (with an adjustment made of £15.5m underspend due to reduced demand). Baselines from 2021/22 and beyond have been taken from a departmentally approved Programme Business Case produced in Autumn 2020. |
