| Description: | The objectives of the Blythe House Programme are to ensure that: 1) Blythe House is put to its most efficient and effective use in order to deliver maximum value for money 2) The Blythe House museums are able to care for their collections in the most efficient and effective way |
| DCA (RAG) | Amber |
| DCA text: | Compared to financial year 20/21-Q4, the DCA rating at 21/22-Q4 remained at Amber This is primarily due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on both the delivery schedule and programme cost. These impacts have been evaluated by means of independent assurance and DCMS remains confident that the programme aims of protecting the museum collections and maximising the sale of Blythe House can be met. |
| Start date | 2015-04-01 |
| End date | 2023-03-31 |
| Schedule text | Compared to 2021-Q4, your project end-date remained scheduled to finish on 31 MAR 2023 This is primarily due to the following factors: The schedules of the three museum construction projects and the decant from Blythe House were affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, however, the Science Museum Group's Building ONE is complete and 30% of objects at Blythe House have been moved there. The British Museum's and V&A's projects are due to complete in summer 2022. An independent review concluded that the museums would be able to vacate Blythe House by 31 March 2024, and the tenancy agreement between DCMS and the museums is being revised to reflect this. |
| Baseline | £10.90m |
| Forecast | £53.64m |
| Variance | 392.00% |
| Variance text: | The budget variance exceeds 5%. The variance reflects the management of grant in aid drawdown from year to year. The in-year forecast spend represents anticipated expenditure on the Blythe House project, while the baseline represents what is being drawn down in grant in aid funding. There is an arrangement whereby the museums can draw down the grant in aid funding for non-Blythe House project expenditure, and 'repay' it to the project in future years. |
| Whole Life Cost | £217.00m |
| WLCost text: | Compared to2021-Q4, the projects Baseline Whole Life Cost increased from 215.19 (£m) to 216.58 (£m). This is primarily due to the following factors: The minimal change in the baseline whole life cost derives from a reprofiling of underspends within the overall programme budget. An increase in the whole life cost of the programme is expected as a result of the impact of COVID-19 and this will be baselined into the programme alongside agreement of a revised lease. |
