Planning and rationale
Planning budgetNot published |
No-engagement rationaleThe extant contract expires 07 July 2025. It is imperative that the re-let is awarded to provide continuity to the armed forces. Without the training in place the mandated Army Adventurous Training (AT) delivery levels will not be achieved. This directly affects the ‘offer’ that the Army is delivering to soldiers. A loss of AT Capability will affect soldiers morale, and indirectly affect Army recruitment and retention. |
