The reason for reprofiling is that the construction start was delayed due to a delay of the Esso Remediation and third party land  acquisitions. The 28 May 2023 Council
paper confirms that the  increased project cost of £44.325m, which will be split between City Deal £23.991m and Council £20.334m. The original total budget has been
profiled to reflect on the Council paper.
Explanation
Delay in spend in year 1-2 due to covid,  limited access to school and external suppliers. The project has been approached as a roll out programme over a 10 year
period. The current estate consists of ~650 AV Screens (30 Early years, 400 Primary and 220 Secondary) of the 650, 100 were faulty and have now been replaced. 105
screens were of the same age as the failing 100 and have since been replaced. The life expectancy of a board is 7 years. The remaining screens were bought on an ad
hoc basis and as such are being replaced on an ad hoc basis as and when required, either due to failure or incompatibility with modern peripherals/devices regardless of
age. It is impossible to determine when a board will fail hence the non-linear spend. Replacement programme is essential to ensuring a fit for purpose digital learning
environment in all classrooms and early learning centres.

Explanation
The Scotland Excel framework for the alarms & peripherals is due to be released July 2023, EDC/WDC now have access to Chubb platform for the call handling (ARC). 
We hope  to go live with this October 2024.  With a live digital platform, we can then start installing the digital alarms and peripherals (Procurement exercise still needs to
be completed). Currently we plan to install 600 alarms and peripherals in 2024/25 and the remaining 1200 alarms and peripherals in 2025/26
The digital strategy is across 2022/27, so covering 2024/25, 2025/26 and 2026/27 financial years. This will drive spend over that period, given where we are in 2024/25
and the position with it going to the board and spend related to this would need to be weighted towards the next 2 financial years. Depending on progress on a
replacement case management system, and if some of that is funded from this budget (whether costs for licences, resources etc) that is also likely to feature in the next
two financial years. Given the procurement exercise required for this, and following experience of other HSCPs who are further forward,these costs are likely to be more
across the next two financial years than the current one.  Come 2027 we'll need to have a new strategy in place for the 2027/28 financial year.
