The system will need to allow reviewers, once alerted, to download drafts, review and comment on them by adding annotations before uploading for further edit. New document releases should be promulgated using an auditable messaging system and then be accessible both on and off-line by all required Military and Civilian addressees. Accessibility must be in line with the MOD policy for the classification of the documentation and any aggregation of data that must be taken into account.

From 2 April 2014 the Government is introducing its new Government Security Classifications Policy (GSC) to replace the current Government Protective Marking Scheme. A key aspect of this is the reduction in the number of security classifications used. All suppliers to the Department are encouraged to make themselves aware of the changes as it may impact on this Requirement. The link below to the Gov.uk website provides information on the new GSC.
The Authority reserves the right to amend any condition related to security of information to reflect any changes in national law or government policy. If any contract documents are accompanied by instructions on safeguarding classified information (e.g. a Security Aspects Letter), the Authority reserves the right to amend the terms of these instructions to reflect any changes in national law or government policy, whether in respect of the applicable protective marking scheme, specific protective markings given, the aspects to which any protective marking applies, or otherwise.
