6. How much will it cost?
Total portfolio costs (excl. ESMCP) are over £600m between to
The LEP costs rise from £143m this year to their highest point in 19/20 (£156m) and then fall to £94m in 20/21 and £32m in 21/22.
These numbers are being tested alongside ESMCP for affordability.

7. What benefits will you receive?
The LEP forecasts a steady build up of benefits over this spending review period and the next
Between and the police total running cost savings will be £120m compared to a baseline. This is a 33% reduction.
Efficiency benefits scored so far amount to £30m pa, with the main benefits emerging in and 20-21
There are also other benefits around public protection, improved policing and criminal justice outcomes, tentatively measured at £80m pa (though not cashable).
Significant opportunities but planning is needed to maximise the benefits
eg new fingerprint algorithm
HOB cold case opportunities
NAS cross border crime investigations
CAID automating the grading of child abuse images
cross emergency service data opportunities in ESMCP

8. How can you scrutinise and assure the portfolio?
For all the programmes there are:
Both chiefs and PCCs on programme boards
Chiefs reference groups for the three largest programmes
Technology Reallocation Scrutiny Group with chief and PCC representation to examine in year spend on the whole reallocation
Programmes subject to regular gateway reviews and full range of Home Office and IPA scrutiny
We are putting in place systematic assurance frameworks particularly in programmes facing challenges especially ESMCP and NLEDP
Incremental capability across the programmes allows users to test the product and feed back before legacy systems are turned off
