March 2024

Rating: Compared to financial year 22/23-Q4, the Senior Responsible Owner's Delivery Confidence Assessment rating at 23/24-Q4 remained at Amber. This is primarily due to the following factors. We are in delivery phrase and are working with successful wave 2 bidders to complete the rollout and be open to learners by September 2024. Wave 2 capital funding totalled 130m and projects are ongoing. We are on budget, and this is being monitored closely.

Schedule: Compared to financial year 22/23-Q4, the project's end-date at 23/24-Q4 decreased from 2026-01-01 to 2025-03-31. This is primarily due to the following factors. This end date is a correction from an error in previous returns which gave a project end date in 2026.

Cost: Compared to financial year 22/23-Q4, the project's departmental-agree Whole Life Cost at 23/24-Q4 increased from 6m. to 138m. This is primarily due to the following factors. This corrects an error in previous returns which incorrectly gave a Whole Life Cost figure of 6m.
