- Draft documents giving BMA rights to interrogate when they require;
- Ensure commonality and consistency with other BMA contracts to facilitate personnel transfers and minimise familiarisation requirements.

The Outcome

- Budget and schedule achieved;
- Full suite of interviews conducted with the contract’s future users and where possible, their requirements were captured; where not the reasons were explained.
