## Notice

The objective is for the supplier to carry out people and or cost audits on 15 contractors on the Scheme Delivery Framework/ Pavement Delivery Framework, so that by completion each contractor has agreed year 1, year 2 and year 3 equipment or people rates in line with the schedule of cost components across which ever lots they are delivering. The purpose once the Work Package Task is completed is to allow costs to be accepted during the monthly assessment process of Work Orders and for Costs to be paid in line with the SDF and PDF contract.
