| Description: | The UK Search and Rescue 2nd Generation (UKSAR2G) programme is the UK's replacement aviation Search and Rescue (SAR) and Aerial Surveillance (ASV) services that will continue to save lives, protect the UK's economic interests and maintain aeronautical compliance with International Conventions beyond 2024. |
| DCA (RAG) | Green |
| DCA text: | Compared to financial year 20/21-Q4, the DCA rating at 21/22-Q4 decreased from Amber/Green to Green. 2021/22 saw the completion of the initial tender evaluation and consensus, Commercial Assurance Board (CAB) Stage 5 and conclusion of a 3 week Negotiation Stage with the Participants and the development of the Invitation to Submit Final Tender (ITSFT). The negotiations demonstrated that the delivery of the programme remains on schedule. Completion of the negotiation stage and the relaxation of Covid-19 restrictions have also led to the removal of several key risks. It is for this reason that the SRO Quality Assessment has been improved from Amber to Green. As Senior Responsible Officer (SRO) I will ensure that the remaining bidder delivers on their negotiated agreements and remains focused on delivering Value for Money. The Gateway Review found that the UKSAR2G Programme is a well-established and constructed programme which seeks to deliver a vital emergency service without a loss of continuity to the current Coastguard aviation services. It praised the clear objectives, strong leadership and sound Governance. The review stated that there is a strong evidence base supporting the programme with robust modelling against which the Programme team can assess future potential solutions. It remarked on the high degree of transparency there has been with the market. The review felt that the strategic and economic cases were particularly compelling with an equally clear delivery strategy. The review was complimentary of the amount of stakeholder engagement there has been so far. The review stated that the Programme is inclusive of smaller, agile suppliers who might drive innovation. The review team's assessment was influenced by the need to make greater use of project and programme tools, the impact of IFRS16 and affordability more generally, and the complexity of the stakeholder community. |

| End date | 2026-12-31 |
| Schedule text | Compared to 2021-Q4, your project end-date remained scheduled to finish on 31 DEC 2026. This is primarily due to the following factors: Programme milestones and outputs have consistently been met through 2021/22. Highlights include the completion of the Selection Questionnaire, Initial Tender and Negotiation Stage. Contract Award remains on target for Q3 2022/23, which will require HM Treasury approval of the Full Business Case, following completion of the Final Tender. Following input from the market, it is considered that the Transition Phase timescale of the programme remains both realistic and achievable. |
