| HMRC_0291_2324-Q3 | VOA Business Systems Transformation | VOA | Government Transformation and Service Delivery | VOA Business Systems Transformation Programme is the VOA's pivotal digital transformation programme, which aims to re-design the VOA's core business processes and replace its outdated and end-of-life core valuation and data IT platforms. It will transform the VOA into a more flexible, efficient, and agile organisation able to respond to policy initiatives and deliver sustainable 3 yearly non-domestic rating revaluations. | Red | Not set | The Infrastructure Project Authority's Delivery Confidence Assessment rating at 23/24-Q4 is Red. This is primarily due to the following factors. The overall SRO Delivery Confidence Assessment for the BST Programme is Red. The IPA assessed the Programme as Red in the most recent IPA Gate Review. At the time of the IPA assessment, BST Council Tax delivery was deemed viable, but BST Non-Domestic Rating (NDR) was undergoing a substantial reset. Completion of NDR reset will provide greater confidence around longer term delivery. Significant progress has been made in addressing all of the findings identified. | 2019-11-11 | 2026-03-31 | The project's end-date at 23/24-Q4 is 2026-03-31.

Council Tax covers a taxbase of 26.5 million properties equating to 95% of properties and data. Delivery of Council Tax into the business is Q3 FY24-25 including the migration of all relevant business data and integrated technology. The delivery of the Non-Domestic Rating value stream is currently expected to be delivered and rolled out by the end of FY25-26. The detailed delivery schedule will be confirmed in due course. | 41.56 | 41.56 | 0 | The budget variance is inferior or equal to 5%. | 236 | The project's departmental-agree Whole Life Cost at 23/24-Q4 is 236m.
