The team responsible for delivering the various elements would need to decide how best to work collaboratively.

The supplier should be prepared to have presence on site every day, if that was necessary for the project to be a success. 6. Will the Authority sponsor BPSS and CTC? Given the short nature of the engagement, it is unlikely that we would be able to get a CTC back before the end of it.
