| Description: | Delivering a successful 2021 Census, researching how to make it the last of its kind and transforming the work of ONS in how we collect, process, and analyse data. |
| 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 programme delivered a Census operation that exceeded all expectations with 97% of households responding. 89% of those responses were online which has enabled high-quality data to be collected. Processing of this data has not been without issue but is continuing and we aim to publish first results in the summer. Work has progressed on the transformation of Data Collection with the Labour Market Survey now utilising a dual mode approach, more surveys moved online, and the delivery of capability that will facilitate the construction of new/transformed business surveys within a compressed timeframe. Progress continues towards the 2023 National Statistician recommendation with research underway and the publication of Admin-based population (and migration) estimates (ABPEs). Articles detailing our progress and methods used to produce these estimates have also been published. There remain significant issues with the acquisition of administrative data for this work that the programme is working to mitigate. |

| Baseline | £252.40m |
| Forecast | £218.50m |
| Variance | -13.00% |
| Variance text: | The budget variance exceeds 5%. Prior to the budget reprofiling, the variance was due to lower than anticipated Field costs and Contract savings based on a New Wave of Contact. Since the budget reprofiling, the further reduction of forecast is due to lower than anticipated Contingency and Severance costs. Please note that these figures are based on period 11 accounts, as ONS is yet to finalise the year end position. |
| Whole Life Cost | £886.00m |
| WLCost text: | Compared to 2021-Q4, the projects Baseline Whole Life Cost decreased from 906.00 (£m) to 886.00 (£m). This is primarily due to the following factors: The Budgeted Whole Life Costs have reduced. This is due to £30m being handed back to HM Treasury at the Supplementary Estimate stage due to recognised under expenditure on Field and Contract costs. This is offset by an expected £10m carry over of underspend into 2022/23, that we are currently forecasting to require. If needed, this will be asked for at the 2022/23 Supplementary Estimate. |
