Report completed by Colin Watt for October 2015

Achievements in Last Period

• First pass of requirements for ITT reviewed with Project Sponsor / Business Lead.
• Draft procurement strategy produced and reviewed with Project Sponsor / Business Lead.
• Project Board convened for November.
• PIN issued; questions sent to PIN respondents in order to set up potential visits prior to formal procurement.

Issues

• No major issues.
• Earliest opportunity for Project Board is Mid-November, so likely that end of planning will be delayed given that the board needs to agree project governance, budget, timeline and plan, however the team is proceeding with the requirements for the ITT on the basis that (with Board approval) this can be issued quickly following agreement on the above.
• Funding, project resourcing, and timeline to be covered with Project Board.

Next Steps

• Agree budget, timeline, plan with Project Board.
• Agree procurement strategy.
• Complete and issue ITT.
