The programme consists of the following projects:1) Infrastructure programme to clear the spectrum – comprising implementing a new transmission frequency plan for Digital Terrestrial Television (DTT) broadcasting, building or modifying broadcast masts and antennas, including over 80 main transmitters, and administering the payment of grants to deliver this infrastructure work.2) Programme Making Special Events (PMSE) - putting in place alternative spectrum for the PMSE community and delivering a Help Scheme for current PMSE users impacted by the Programme.3) Viewer Support - communicating to DTT viewers if they need to retune their TV equipment, and providing support to affected viewers that may need to repoint or replace their aerials. |
| Departmental commentary on actions planned or taken on the IPA RAG rating. | An IPA Gate 0 Review in April 2016 provided an assessment of Amber/Red, reflecting the complexity of the programme and early stage of delivery. | An IPA PAR review was undertaken in November 2016 provding the programme with an Amber/Green rating. | Final recommendations have been met and programme has now completed. | The Infrastructure and Projects Authority gave the 700 MHz Spectrum Clearance programme an Amber Delivery confidence rating in June 2016. This reflected the fact that the programmme was in the start up phase and that the completion date for the programme had not been confirmed. The programme has now moved into the delivery stage. We have invited IPA to review the programme again later this year. |

Coverage as at March 2017 reported by ThinkBroadband is 92.6%. | Programme has now completed | A plan for accelerated delivery of the programme was agreed in September 2016. This aims to clear 700MHz spectrum by mid-2020. A review in September 2017 is planned to confirm this accelarated delivery schedule. |

Variances for 2016/17 financial year reflect efficiency savings, re-sheduling and infrastructure re-planning. |
