March 2024
Rating: The Infrastructure Project Authority's Delivery Confidence Assessment rating at 23/24-Q4 is Amber. This is primarily due to the following factors. The overall delivery confidence assessment of amber is based upon the fact that the programme has internal spend approval but is yet to secure HM Treasury approval. An Infrastructure & Projects Authority (IPA) review in February 2024 highlighted the need for ongoing technical health governance beyond the end of 2024/25, due to the programme not being able to mitigate all known technical health risks across the estate. The future technology strategy and delivery plan are being considered as part HMRC's 5-year planning activities. The programme is working towards a green delivery confidence assessment, the next formal IPA review will take place in Q4 of 2024/25.
Schedule: The project's end-date at 23/24-Q4 is 2025-03-31. This is primarily due to the following factors. The programme is on track and expects to complete by 31st March 2025
Cost: The project's departmental-agree Whole Life Cost at 23/24-Q4 is 246m. This is primarily due to the following factors. On 1st September 2023 a decision was taken to close another of HMRC's GMPP programmes (Critical Platform Transformation programme) early and move the remaining scope of that programme to the Enterprise Security Programme, and, at the same time, to rename the Enterprise Security programme to Technical Health Programme. The cost increase is due to the inclusion of the scope of the remaining scope of the Critical Platform Transformation programme for the period 1st Sept 2023 to 31st Mar 2025.
