This procurement process falls under the services category, specifically focusing on business and management consultancy and related services. The procurement is at the active stage and follows a tender initiation type. The tender period is set to conclude on 7th February 2017, while the contract period is from 21st February 2017 to 20th October 2017. The project is based in Glasgow, UK. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in consultancy services, particularly those with expertise in data analysis and human resources strategy. Companies that can provide insights into recruitment trends and personnel management will be well-positioned to compete. The procurement may also accommodate businesses of various sizes, though organisational experience in defence-related projects will likely enhance competitiveness. Engaging in this project could enable businesses to forge valuable connections with government entities and expand their portfolios in the public sector. ## Notice Modification Notice Original description: Requirement 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. Background The UK's 2015 Strategic Defence & Security Review (SDSR) undertook to "enable our AF to work more flexibly, reflecting the realities of modern life" (para 4.53), & to "develop a new AF offer for new joiners" (para 4.54). The AFPP's mission is to deliver the commitments made in SDSR. Its vision is to create "a modern &inclusive AF which attracts, retains & values its people, in order to enhance operational capability, offering choice as to how they live & work providing a comprehensive & sustainable reward package that recognises commitments & service" Description of the modifications 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. Description of the economic or technical reasons and the inconvenience or duplication of cost preventing a change of contractor: 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.
