The E-Asset project started in July 2006. The projected cost of fully implementing the E-Asset system is £8.9 million. This cost can be broken down into £4.8 million for technology development and hosting; and £4.1 million expenditure on business change activities associated with roll-out and implementation across the juvenile secure estate—e.g. training.
The cost to date (since July 2006) of implementing the E-Asset system is £7.49 million. This can be broken down into £4.1 million for technology development and hosting and £3.39 million for implementation (roll-out and training).
All establishments in the secure estate have successfully installed encryption devices in preparation for national roll-out. The rollout of the E-Asset system is currently running to original schedule and budget and on track for completion by April 2009. The intention during 2009-10 is to consolidate system usage through a programme of post implementation review, to ensure it is being used to its maximum potential. All establishments within the juvenile secure estate for England and Wales, whether run by HMPS, local authorities or the private sector are committed to implementing the E-Asset system.
The following establishments are fully implemented as at 20 October 2008:
