<p>The Transforming Compliance and Enforcement Programme (TCEP) will transform the
National Compliance and Enforcement Service (NCES) and the way in which it operates.
We will introduce a new operating model supported by new digital systems. As well
as changing the way we do business, the introduction of new technology and streamlined
process will increase efficiency, ensuring HMCTS staff can increase performance through
focusing on key enforcement activities.</p><p> </p><p>It is estimated that the number
of full time equivalent staff working in the NCES from 2020 onward will be 548. Until
this point we expect the current FTE level to remain at a similar level to now (1497
in 2017), with the reduction being phased through 2019. The reductions will be made
possible through the introduction of improved technology, including a new finance
and accounting system, which will enable the automation or streamlining of many of
current manual processes and the centralisation to three national enforcement centres
from over 50 dispersed locations. Consistent with the provision of wider government
financial and accounting services, the ongoing administration of the new finance and
accounting system will be delivered through an external provider.</p>
