The activities of the e-Borders programme have been absorbed into the Border
Systems Programme. The estimated cost to close the e-Borders programme and
define the Border Systems Programme was £340,000. These costs are attributable
to civil servants already in post and there has been no additional expenditure
or procurement in order to move the work from e-Borders to Border Systems.
The procurement approach to replacing the primary border security elements of
the Border Systems Programme will reflect broader Government ICT and Commercial
strategy, and there will be no single, large supplier. The Home Office will
lead development, with services procured from a range of providers, potentially
including small and medium enterprises; no tenders have been received at this
time.
By March 2015 the Border Systems Programme aims to:
\u2022 Complete resilience of all current business critical systems;
\u2022 Develop replacement primary border security systems;
\u2022 Provide the capability to support commitments on exit checks;
\u2022 Establish a programme for the next generation of Radiological and Nuclear
detection (Cyclamen);
\u2022 Continue the implementation of second generation e-Gates across the estate;
\u2022 Develop and implement new freight targeting capability for Sea Containers;
\u2022 Establish contracts to purchase new detection equipment;
\u2022 Continue to assure live operations of existing systems.
The breakdown of FTE Civil Servants engaged by the e-Borders and subsequently
the Border Systems Programme in each year since 2010, is:<\/p>
