Description: Border Force is making a transformative change to its analytics and targeting capabilities, better securing the border with improved operational outcomes, driving operational efficiencies, and therefore achieving considerable cashable savings through the decommissioning of expensive legacy systems.
DCA (RAG) Amber
DCA text: Compared to financial year 20/21-Q4, the IPA's DCA rating at 21/22-Q4 remained at Amber Overall delivery confidence remains at Amber. Cerberus is a complex project with dependencies being managed and delivered across multiple products. New capabilities have been delivered into the business and are beginning to be used operationally. At the same time, Cerberus continues to ingest and exploit new data sets to improve targeting capability and develop risk scoring and experimentation capabilities. The key Q1 delivery milestones for the Cerberus are within the Air Passenger and RoRo modes.
Start date 2019-10-01
End date 2024-04-01
Schedule text Compared to 2021-Q4, your project end-date remained scheduled to finish on 01 APR 2024 This is primarily due to the following factors: The programme is on track to be completed by the end of 2023/24. The timeline allows for the incremental delivery of data sets and targeting modes along with the underlying capabilities. This incremental approach to delivery allows for a steady and manageable change process which boosts feedback at each stage. This feedback can be thoroughly explored, and the agile working of the project means that changes required can be added into delivery plans. In addition, the timeline and sequencing of activities has been arranged to allow for the changes in technology and ways of working to land effectively and for the resulting capabilities to be fully leveraged.
Baseline £34.30m

Costs in this section are nominal (without inflation):Of the allocated funding for FY22/23, a total of £27.6m is Capital Departmental Expenditure Limits and £5.2m is Resource Departmental Expenditure Limits, which is £32.8m Total Departmental Expenditure Limits.The forecast expenditure for FY22/23 is £28.4m Capital Departmental Expenditure Limits and £4.3m Resource Departmental Expenditure Limits. The project team are looking at options to rebalance forecast costs in accordance with the budget. Future years will be confirmed through the annual allocation process but stand provisionally for FY23/24 at £19.4m change Capital Departmental Expenditure Limits, £2.9m change Resource Departmental Expenditure Limits and for FY24/25 at £6.7m change Capital Departmental Expenditure Limits, £1.7m change Resource Departmental Expenditure Limits.
