	uin	192031
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/04/2014 answer text <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 PB 2</td><td>1</td><td>1</td><td>1</td><td>0</td></tr><tr><td>SCS PB 1</td><td>2</td><td>1</td><td>2</td><td>2</td></tr><tr><td>G6</td><td>7.8</td><td>7.8</td><td>7.8</td><td>9.8</td></tr><tr><td>G7</td><td>11.8</td><td>9.8</td><td>10.8</td><td>17.8</td></tr><tr><td>SEO/HMI</td><td>33.5</td><td>34.7</td><td>48.8</td><td>49.7</td></tr><tr><td>HEO/CIO</td><td>26</td><td>25.4</td><td>22.5</td><td>30.9</td></tr><tr><td>EO/IO</td><td>22</td><td>19.3</td><td>25</td><td>20.8</td></tr><tr><td>AO/PS</td><td>7</td><td>5</td><td>5</td><td>3</td></tr><tr><td> </td><td> </td><td> </td><td> </td><td> </td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Old Bexley and Sidcup answering member printed James Brokenshire grouped question UIN 192028 192029 192030 question first answered 02/04/2014 12:00:00 answering member 1530 label Biography information for James Brokenshire
