<p> </p><p>The activities of the e-Borders programme have been absorbed into the Border
<br>Systems Programme. The estimated cost to close the e-Borders programme and <br>define
the Border Systems Programme was £340,000. These costs are attributable <br>to civil
servants already in post and there has been no additional expenditure <br>or procurement
in order to move the work from e-Borders to Border Systems. <br><br>The procurement
approach to replacing the primary border security elements of <br>the Border Systems
Programme will reflect broader Government ICT and Commercial <br>strategy, and there
will be no single, large supplier. The Home Office will <br>lead development, with
services procured from a range of providers, potentially <br>including small and medium
enterprises; no tenders have been received at this <br>time. <br><br>By March 2015
the Border Systems Programme aims to:<br><br>• Complete resilience of all current
business critical systems; <br>• Develop replacement primary border security systems;
<br>• Provide the capability to support commitments on exit checks; <br>• Establish
a programme for the next generation of Radiological and Nuclear <br>detection (Cyclamen);
<br>• Continue the implementation of second generation e-Gates across the estate;
<br>• Develop and implement new freight targeting capability for Sea Containers; <br>•
Establish contracts to purchase new detection equipment; <br>• Continue to assure
live operations of existing systems. <br><br>The breakdown of FTE Civil Servants engaged
by the e-Borders and subsequently <br>the Border Systems Programme in each year since
2010, is:</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td> </td><td>Dec-10</td><td>Dec-11</td><td>Dec-12</td><td>Dec-13</td></tr><tr><td>SCS
