| Description: | This programme was established to set up and manage the Building Safety Fund (BSF) to remediate high rise residential buildings in England with unsafe non-aluminium composite material (ACM) cladding. In the private sector, the BSF is for the benefit of the leaseholder in buildings for which another funding source is not available. For social sector applicants, the fund will pay for leaseholders' costs and provide support to those applicants that evidence their unaffordability, and a threat to their financial standing. |
| DCA (RAG) | Red |
| DCA text: | Compared to financial year 2020/21-Q4, the IPA's DCA rating at 2021/22-Q4 increased from Amber/Red to Red. The programme team agree with the IPA's delivery confidence assessment considering that the additional £3.5bn funding for the second Building Safety Fund registration remains to be fully approved by HM Treasury. The new registration also awaits approval to re-open from the Secretary of State due to policy changes affecting the programme scope, moving from remediation of unsafe cladding to a more proportionate approach, the introduction of PAS9980 and risk based assessments. |
| Start date | 2020-03-11 |
| End date | 2027-12-31 |
| Schedule text | Compared to 2021-Q4, your programme end-date increased from 31 MAR 2023 to 31 DEC 2027. This is primarily due to the following factors: Since September 2021, following the appointment of the new Secretary of State, the programme plan has been re-baselined in the context of new policy development. Policy development is moving the programme scope to a more proportionate strategy for buildings, the Secretary of State's approval is being sought to launch the new registration in 2022. To date the programme team has assessed c.3,500 registrations, with 1,109 buildings currently eligible, 256 started on site and 30 completed remediation. |
| Baseline | £339.78m |
| Forecast | £413.98m |
| Variance | 22.00% |
| Variance text: | The budget variance exceeds 5%. The pace of the Building Safety Fund (BSF) in 2021/22 has been lower than expected. As such, it has been difficult to forecast accurately the number of buildings starting remediation. The number of applicants moving to grant agreement, and start on site, has slowly increased, therefore the spike seen in the last quarter exceeded our expectations. |
| Whole Life Cost | £4,679.00m |
| WLCost text: | Compared to 2021-Q4, the programme's Baseline Whole Life Cost increased from £1bn to 4.7bn. The expected cost of the applicants who registered for the Building Safety Fund exceeded the initial £1bn announced. This led to the announcement of a further £3.5bn to fund completion of work via a second registration, scheduled in 2022. The programme is slowly seeing an upward trajectory as more applicants are closer to getting started on site. The pace in 2022/23 is expected to be higher than in 2021/22. The programme will use all levers possible to ensure the pace of the programme increases, to ensure residents in high-rise residential buildings feel and are safe from the fire risks that unsafe cladding pose. |
