two.2.4) Description of the procurement

The project has a very tight timescale with a requirement to spend the capital grant allocation by January 2022. This will form Phase 1 of the project. However, it is expected that the project will continue as Phase 2 for at least another two years, until January 2024, in order to realise the benefits of the upfront injection of funds. This will form Phase 2 of the project. The expectation is that the project will continue beyond Phase 2 and we will be looking to see how the potential operators bidding for this work intend to work towards this aim.
