    "description": "Following the publishing of the Integrated Reviews, the Programme has identified that its initial procurement process no longer fully reflects the updated needs of Defence and so has taken the opportunity to further refine its requirements and develop its planning for the operation of competitive dialogue. This will lead to a new revised procurement encompassing a clarified and developed risk-based approach to transition and transformation that will provide assurance on continuity of delivery, setting out the complexity of the requirements involved and testing Bidders' understanding of these factors. The Programme has therefore determined that, to ensure it acts in the public interest at all times, and that it undertakes an expedient, effective and streamlined process, it will be cancelling its current procurement process and reissuing its approach to market with a new Prior Information Notice, Market Interest Day(s), and Contract Notice via the Defence Sourcing Portal.

AFRP will place the candidate at the heart of the recruiting experience whilst delivering a tS Recruiting Operating Model (ROM) that is agile and able to dynamically respond to future Service requirements. The recruiting process must deliver an engaging experience that reflects the needs of candidates across all entry paths (Regular/ Reserve, officers/ other ranks/ specialist, lateral entry and re-joiners) which maximises the conversion of eligible candidates into successful recruits.
