| Description: | The 2022 Commonwealth Games will be held in Birmingham, from 28 July to 8 August. The Games will showcase Birmingham, the West Midlands and the entire country to the rest of the world as a destination for international trade, entertainment, world class sport and tourism. The Games will deliver a fully integrated and inclusive para-sport programme, featuring thousands of world-class athletes and over a million spectators. The Government is providing a substantial part of the £778m funding and will want to ensure successful delivery, on time and within budget. The Games will be delivered in 2022 amongst a year of major invents for the UK - including the Queen's Platinum Jubilee and Unboxed 2022. |
| DCA (RAG) | Amber |
| DCA text: | Compared to financial year 20/21-Q4, the IPA's DCA rating at 21/22-Q4 remained at Amber The Infrastructure and Projects Authority (IPA) conducted a blended Gate 0/4 Review in February 2022, supported by interviews with a range of Games Partner representatives. A DCA (DCA) of 'Amber' has been issued - consistent with the programme's previous DCA (Nov 2020). This is a very welcome and positive assessment of the overall programme, particularly given the risks that the Partnership has managed and the challenging external operating environment the Partnership continues to deliver the Games in. These challenges include unprecedented supply chain shortage, depleted labour market and delivering throughout the Covid-19 pandemic. The review provided a set of recommendations across a range of areas, which DCMS have begun to work with the partnership on to fulfil. There is no further assurance activity anticipated before Games with the IPA now. A Gate 5 review will likely be conducted after the Games, potentially in Autumn 2022, further work to scope this will be undertaken later in the year. |
