The Armed Forces People Programme (AFPP) requires ‘stated preference’ modelling to understand the likely impact on recruiting & retention of Service (military) personnel of a no. of options for a new package of financial & non-financial rewards (the ‘New Offer’), & of new contract terms that will allow Service Personnel to work part-time or to limit their liability to be moved around the country or overseas. Separate Surveys are now required (NJO & FES) — Additional service & extended delivery.
It was identified that Defence would gain considerable extra benefit from splitting the current planned survey (which supports 2 projects in the AFPP) into delivering two separate reports. This would result in additional cost and extension to original contract.
The additional work required is heavily dependent upon the work already commenced by current contractor therefore there is a need for this contractor to continue with the revised deliverable, in order to meet the Authority's original & new delivery time.
