Legal Justification

Both the demobilisation of the existing contract, and mobilisation phases of a replacement contract are lengthy. Anticipated mobilisation periods for new PTP contracts start at a minimum of 120 days. For such a short extension there would be insufficient time to mobilise a new supplier, transfer staff, embed new processes and then move to a steady state service. This would be a disproportionate amount of time relative to the length of the extended service required. Given the mobilisation for new contracts awarded under PTP would begin prior to the start of any new contract for a 6-month additional service period, it would mean that mobilisation activity would be happening concurrently. This is not feasible. Any change in contractor would cause a substantial duplication of costs. This would include the costs associated with the preparation and transfer of staff and assets as well as the establishment of new processes and IT systems through those demobilisation and mobilisation phases.
