| Description / Aims |
The primary objective of the programme is to site and construct a permanent geological disposal facility (GDF) as the safe, secure and environmentally responsible solution to the long-term management of higher-activity radioactive waste in the UK, excluding Scotland. The programme also supports the delivery of the UK's nuclear new build programme because before development consents for new nuclear power stations are granted, the Government needs to be satisfied that effective arrangements exist or will exist to manage and dispose of the wastes they will produce. The programme complies with all public procurement policy obligations including the guidance in Procurement Policy Note 16/15. The developer will be able to provide data once we are in the implementation phase of the programme i.e. we have a designated site and a site specific rather than a generic design. |
The Heat Network Investment Project (HNIP) is helping create a self-sustaining heat network market through £320 million capital investment and short term actions to address market barriers. |
A Local Land Charge (LLC) is a restriction or prohibition on land which binds successive owners and occupiers. The LLC Programme will deliver a single LLC Register Service for England (the inclusion of the LLC Registers in Wales will be subject to a further business case), implementing the powers granted to HM Land Registry under the Infrastructure Act 2015.
The Programme continues to build the digital Register and Service, in addition to ensuring HM Land Registry can absorb this into business as usual functions, with this being on target for mid-2018. In line with the Chief Secretary to the Treasurys advice in early November, the Programme has reviewed how local authority data can be introduced into the Register quicker and cheaper than the proposed original Programme Business Case.
By March 2019 we will digitise, standardise and centralise LLC data and associated services from approximately 26 Local Authorities on a voluntary basis. During this time, we intend to migrate those registers:
that are wholly paper and electronic based;
from the most engaged and ready authorities;
that have high search volumes, high fees and long turnaround times.

The objective of the procurement (the Magnox Competition) is the delivery of a series of outputs largely based on the extant baselines of Magnox and RSRL, currently defined as outcomes of the Magnox Optimised Decommissioning Plan (MODP) and Optimised RSRL Baseline (HOP and WOP) at 10% lower cost. The performance obligations associated with delivery of this objective are embodied within a Client Specification which forms the basis of the Site Licence Company Agreement (SLCA) and Parent Body Agreement (PBA). |
NERC/British Antarctic Survey has a business need to replace its two aging science/logistics support vessels with a new dual role purpose vessel. The FBC calculated that the NPV of the option selected as best overall Value For Money, (design, build operate a new dual role science/logistics support vessel) resulting in a saving of £102m over a period of 25 years representing the anticipated lifetime of the new asset. The reduction in vessel capacity and attendant running costs is predicted to deliver significant savings with only a minor impact of delivery of science days at sea. The Specification/Statement Of Requirements for the new vessel was developed in consultation with the key stakeholders including, but not limited to, the scientific user community; logistics support staff within the British Antarctic Survey and the Supply Side. Working with the selected shipyard, Cammell Laird we are optimising the design and on track to deliver the vessel in Q4 2017/18. NERC is not purchasing any steel. Steel purchased by the main contractor has due regard for the guidance and commercial best practice. |
Changing the model for engaging the private sector at the Sellafield Site from the current Parent Body Organisation model to a new Market Enhanced Site Licenced Company characterised by public sector retention of the uncertainties intrinsically associated with Sellafield. |
The Government's vision is for every home in Great Britain to have smart electricity and gas meters by 2020. Smart Meters will give consumers up-to-date information about how much gas and/or electricity they have used in pounds and pence, as well as units of energy. Smart meters will have benefits for consumers, suppliers and energy networks. Consumers will have near real-time information about their energy use, enabling them to monitor and manage their energy consumption, save money and reduce carbon emissions. Switching between suppliers will also be made simpler and faster. Energy suppliers will have access to accurate data for billing and will be able to offer a wider range of services and tariffs. Energy networks will have better information to manage and plan current activities and support the move towards the development of a smart grid. |
The UKRI Implementation Programme will create UK Research and Innovation, a single new NDPB that will integrate nine research and innovation funders: the seven Research Councils, Innovate UK, and the research funding functions of HEFCE (creating Research England). |

| Departmental commentary on actions planned or taken on the IPA RAG rating. |
The rating reflects the early stages of a long term programme that involves working in partnership with communities and which has experienced slippage due to a number of external factors. In November 2017 the IPA completed a project assessment review and reported an overall Delivery Confidence Assessment of Amber. Further progress was achieved in January 2018 with the launch of two consultations: the draft Working with Communities policy and the draft National Policy Statement for Geological Disposal Infrastructure. |
HNIP has undertaken detailed project planning to ensure teams are fully resourced and key risks are identified. Mitigating actions have been developed and implemented to ensure that the project is de-risked sufficiently for the successful launch of the main scheme. Specialist advice has been sought for technical project areas. Lessons learned and process evaluation from the Pilot Scheme have fed into Main Scheme design in order to increase delivery confidence. |
In line with the newly approved Phase1 approach, we have :
defined our high level delivery plan;
redrafted and agreed our procurement strategy;
reshaped our delivery team structure to focus on implementation; |
