Achievements in Last Period

• Outstanding contractual issues (local Provet DB, ESCROW arrangements) in progress;
• The local Provet DB is now being updated daily. Handed over to Production Management; users to be created to verify access to content.
• progress on ESCROW delayed due to Project Sponsor leave, but discussed with PM and Snr Supplier, and with 3rd party. Generally in agreement on the approach dependent on cost. Discussion with FNS  and NCC facilitated w/c 19/08/19 to attempt to reach agreement on this.
• Project Board agreed to meet late September with a view to signing off remaining contractual issues.
• UoE User feed is in testing.

Issues

• No major issues.
• PM availability remains an issue due to commitments across projects.
• Resource conflicts (PM / Snr Supplier / Project Sponsor / 3rd Parties) delayed progress on ESCROW arrangements; milestone changes approved w/c 26/08/19 (Project closure pushed to 11/10/19).

Next Steps

• Delivery of contractual items: ESCROW arrangements.
• Delivery of non-contractual items: coordinate FNS user  feed
