This contract is considered transformational in its delivery model and as such the scope of requirements may change during the life of the contract. There is the possibility that the scope is either increased or decreased in the number of sites due to a re-optimisation programme taking place that looks to optimise site usage across the shared services (Army, RN, RAF). As part of the tender process, bidders must confirm acceptance of these points and their willingness to work in a flexible and collaborate way.

Further information regarding the scope can be found within the tender documents available within the Delta e-tendering portal. Additional information: Variant bids will be accepted so long as a bid, compliant with the requirements, is submitted in the first instance and deemed compliant by RFCA NI.
