A new modernisation release for Barring and Disclosure services that will unify operations, introduce electronic applications and referrals, and enable new services such as Basics. |
In a world of internet enabled communication, CCD will ensure that the police, wider law enforcement, security and intelligence agencies can lawfully obtain, manage and use communications data and intercepted content to: detect, prevent and disrupt crime; protect the public and save lives. |
The Programme aims to replace the mobile communications service used by the 3 Emergency Services and other public safety users with an Emergency Services Network (ESN) which is provided on a commercial mobile network enhanced to meet the public safety requirements for coverage, functionality, availability and security. |
The Immigration Platform Technologies (IPT) Programme is delivering the technology and information systems to support the immigration service now and in the future.. |
It is proposed that the Home Office will move to an updated ERP and a common shared service model to provide transactional human resource (HR), finance (including payroll) and procurement services, in full alignment with the Cabinet Office Next Generation Shared Service strategic plan (NGSS) . The NGSS plan looks to operate a Crown Oversight Function that works with departments to deliver improvements in the quality of service and a reduction in the operating costs of shared services. |
To deliver digital services that will provide systems capable of transforming the way that Border Force and its partners operate. |
The Technology Platforms for Tomorrow (TPT) Programme will facilitate an exit from the overarching Fujitsu IT2000 contract. To replace these contracted services, the TPT Programme will deliver enhanced technology to the user base by providing new essential core technology services. The HO contract for its corporate technology managed services expires in April 18 following an extension. A further extension will need to be negotiated to October 18 during which time the programme is disaggregating the existing service in line with government technology strategy. |
Home Office wide convergence programme for biometrics within Government, covering border security, law enforcement and intelligence. |
Cyclamen equipment provides the capability to detect and intercept, and thereby deter the illicit movement of radiological materials into the United Kingdom. The Programme will deliver modernised Cyclamen capabilities that continue to safeguard the security of the UK. |
The Smarter Working Programme is enabling new ways of working across the Home Office through transformation of people, technology and the workplace whilst reducing cost to the taxpayer. |
The National Law Enforcement Data Programme (NLEDP) aims to replace the current Police National Computer (PNC) and Police National Database (PND) systems with one modernised solution: the Law Enforcement Data Service (LEDS).
The National Register for Missing Persons (NRMP) has also been formally accepted into scope for the Programme. |
Asylum accommodation and support is a statutory responsibility. The Project aims to deliver an asylum accommodation and support model that will ensure the safety and security of service users and their host communities as well as representing VfM for the UK Government, and learning the lessons from previous asylum support contracts. |
| Departmental commentary on actions planned or taken on the IPA RAG rating. |
The Home Office and the Infrastructure and Project Authority (IPA) are engaged and providing assistance. DBS is working with stakeholders and suppliers to deliver the next Programme releases. |
The CCD programme is now scheduled to close in March 2018 and is transitioning to a new sustainment arrangement.
|
In the light of continuing challenges with some of the authority projects and subsequent evidence of further slippage from the main suppliers, work has started on a full scale programme re-plan. The aim is to complete the re-plan, engage in commercial renegotiations and recalculate the Full Business Case (FBC) numbers by late September 2018 |
A formal review of IPT was performed by the Infrastructure and Projects Authority (IPA) in May 2016. A further independent review was undertaken in July 2016 and the IPA reviewed the resulting action plan in August 2016, following which they assessed the status of the programmeas Amber.
The recommendations made by the IPA and the Independent Review were accepted by IPT and progress of the associated actions is reviewed by the Programme Board on a monthly basis. |
Following a critical friend review in March 2017, the Programme has successfully taken forward the actions presented on strengthening dependency management, bolstering resources and completion of a training needs analysis. |
The Programme has made good progress in implementing the recommendations from the last Major Projects Review Group (MPRG) meeting. |
The Programme has an Amber RAG rating following its last independent assurance review (May 2017). A visible increase in enthusiasm, commitment, pace, focus and detail across the programme was noted by the independent review team. Whilst remaining a complex programme, the review gave confidence in the team to address recommendations. These included refreshed governance, developing product management capability beyond the life of the programme, and refining scope. All have been or are being addressed.
|
A timetable for the publication of the Biometrics Strategy in spring 2018 has been agreed.
An independent assurance review was completed on 18 May 2017 when the Programme received an Amber/Green rating. The resulting actions were progressed and are closed following review by the Home Office Portfolio, Investment and Change Committee. |
Exempt under Sections 24 (National Security) and 31(1) (Law Enforcement) of the Freedom of Information Act (2000) |
The Programme has an Amber RAG rating following its last independent assurance reviewand an action plan has been developed to address key risks and issues that could impact delivery. |
The Programme has a defined Product roadmap and development work is underway on Production code. However, limited metrics are available to determine if the current build velocity will fully support the Programme's key milestones. The Programme is regularly engaging with all stakeholder groups to raise awareness and build confidence.
The focus on stakeholder engagement as well as building capability Is having a positive impact on stakeholder perceptions of the Programme. |
The Project's IPA RAG rating is Amber as good progress has been made on the options evaluation resulting in the Differentiated Support Model being selected as the preferred delivery model; and Targeted Service Improvement being the preferred requirements improvements. Both have been taken forward in the Outline Business Case (OBC) which was submitted for Home Office approval on 8 September 2017. Key assumptions and conclusions are continually being tested with stakeholders to ensure initiatives being undertaken to manage volumes are reflected in the procurement documentation. |
