The budgets that you have set out are a little all over the place. £550 EX VAT to include agency fees, however confusingly enough it stipulates in the final page that our maximum day rate equates to £950. Can you please be more clear on what budget we actually have to work with here. Is it £550 MAX or £950 MAX? Also is this post deemed in or outwith IR35? Sorry nowhere on the advert have I mentioned £950 per day budget and I can not see it on the advert.As advertised this has a budget of £550 ex vat per day to include agency fees, it also states intermediaries legislation applies to the role therefore it is INSIDE IR35. 2. Could you please let us know - 1. Maximum number of applications we could submit. 2. Date on which feedback would be provided for the application submitted. As per DOS rules, one advert for one post. Feedback is anticipated w/c 19/06 3. Do you require submission of a CV for this opportunity? CVs will be called after the initial shortlisting has taken place for those selected to move forward to interview. 4. Could the authority please confirm that T&S will be available for the required travel at MOD Rates. T&S will be paid in accordance to MoD Civilian Policy guidelines. T&S will only be paid if a candidate has been asked to visit another site for a meeting. Travel from home to work is not payable. For travel to Abbeywood Bristol, we will expect individuals to use the shuttle bus available. 5. Would you consider work permit holders (e.g. Tier 2 General Visa) and EU passport holders for this role if they are eligible for DV clearance ? This post is for DV cleared UK nationals only due to the projects. 6. What is the total number for positions open for this role? As per DOS rules, one advert is for one post only! 7. Is occasional remote working allowed? No, you are required to be based in Corsham 5 days a week where all IT is provided for you. 8. Any specific format(pdf,doc) in which CVs to be sent later? CVs will be required for those meeting the shortlist and will be required in Word Format no more than 4 sides of A4. Day rates are not to be included on CVs. 9. What are the other expenses which will be paid. Only T&S will be paid where you have been asked to attend a meeting off-site. T&S will be paid in accordance to MoD Civilian Policy and Guidance. 10. Any chances of change in start date as the latest date mentioned is Monday 10 July 2017? You need to include your earliest start date when bidding. The Project need someone in fairly quickly however we need to ensure IT accounts are in place. Perhaps be more specific in your question if you have a date in mind. 11. Can more than one candidate per supplier be submitted for this role Please read the questions already submitted - answer at 2! 12. What is the lead time for feedback once the application is submitted? Please read questions already submitted - answer is at 2! 13. Will you sponsor DV clearance? No this would take too long and be very costly to the Authority. Any individual would need to hold DV status upon coming into post. 14. Regarding DV clearance status, if the candidate does not hold active DV clearance and is willing to go through the process, can this be considered, if yes will you sponsor the security clearance Please see above.
