We require work to commence no later than the end of January in order to make financial close of the project prior to the start of the new financial year. Making reference to the critical path in the Gantt on page 5 of the procurement document you will see that extending the procurement process passed the end on January will result in slippage of the design review and jeopardise EPC commencing before the start of the 25/26 FY.
