Description: Border Force is making a transformative change to its analytics and targeting capabilities, better securing the border with improved operational outcomes, driving operational efficiencies, and therefore achieving considerable cashable savings through the decommissioning of expensive legacy systems.
DCA (RAG) Amber
DCA text: The Infrastructure Project Authority's Delivery Confidence Assessment rating is Amber.This is primarily due to the following factors: Delivery is progressing largely as planned using an agile methodology and to date has delivered a live capability that is in operational use, albeit in a limited capacity. The programme is carrying some resource, governance and technical delivery risks but this is unlikely to affect key deliverables or lead to a significant increase in cost. In fact, action being taken to address these issues are likely to mitigate future risk and potentially provide opportunities for cost savings. As a result some anticipated benefit realisation in 2021/22 is likely to be slowed and move into 2022/23 but the programme are not predicting an impact on the long-term benefits.
Start date 2019-10-01
End date 2024-04-01
Schedule text The project end-date is 01 April 2024. This is primarily due to the following factors: The programme is on track to be completed by the end of 2023/24. The timeline allows for the incremental delivery of data sets and targeting modes along with the underlying capabilities. This incremental approach to delivery allows for a steady and manageable change process which boosts feedback at each stage. This feedback can be thoroughly explored, and the agile working of the project means that changes required can be added into delivery plans. In addition, the timeline and sequencing of activities has been arranged to allow for the changes in technology and ways of working to land effectively and for the resulting capabilities to be fully leveraged.

Whole Life Cost £172.10m
WLCost text: The projects Baseline Whole Life Cost is £172.10m. This is primarily due to the following factors: Baseline WLC: Key factors that led to Cerberus project to set its Q4 2020/21 Baseline Whole life Cost are: External HMRC data source funding External industry data source funding Fixing data quality issues with providers Big Match and Entity Search may be insufficient to meet the requirements of the project requiring an additional technology Need to invest in business change resource to cover deficiency in change management Decommissioning- Semaphore run cost vstride cost Training development cost FTS user licence cost
