Reference "The Business Analyst will initially be required to work onsite 5 days a week for face-to-face meetings with users." Can you please advise whether after this "initial" period (aside from travel to other sites) that the worker would be permitted to work remotely, if there was not a business need? The majority of work will involve working with users within the business who are based on site. We anticipate that a high level of ongoing face-to-face interaction will be required and do not see how a specialist who is not onsite for at least 3, but probably 4, days a week could deliver the outcomes without this face-to-face engagement.
