3 The Libra project had already been procured before the Gateway process was introduced in January 2001. The first Gateway Review that the project went through was not requested by the Libra project but was initiated as part of a wider review of the IBIS programme in the Home Office. It was classed as a Gateway Review 4, readiness for service, in June 2001 but the Libra team had not claimed that it was at this stage. The second review, a Gateway Review 3 investment decision, was conducted in February 2002 when the Department was considering alternatives to ICL completing the whole contract.
