SCHEDULE 4
EXIT PLAN
1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 The purpose of this Schedule is to define the arrangements for exit
management prior to, and following, the end of the Contract Period.
1.2 The provisions of this Schedule shall operate at any time, whether before or
after commencing retendering this Contract, and irrespective of whether exit is a
result of expiry or termination of this Contract.
1.3 The Contractor shall perform its obligations as described in this Schedule 4 at
no additional cost to the Authority, notwithstanding the Contractor’s rights to request
contract adjustments for partial termination in accordance with Clause 36.12 of the
Contract, and the provision of services post expiry or termination described in
paragraph 5 of this Schedule 4.
2.1 The Exit Plan (attached as Annex A to this Schedule 4) will be updated by the
Contractor within 90 Business Days following the end of the Transformation Period
and thereafter in accordance with Clauses 36.4 and 36.5 of the Contract.
3. RE-PROCUREMENT PERIOD
4.1 A Partial Termination Exit Plan will be prepared in the same manner as the
full Exit Plan, with the same deliverable and requirements defined therein. The
primary difference being the inclusion of materials associated specifically with the
partial termination.
5. POST EXPIRY
5.1 Where the Contractor is required to comply with Clause 36.17 of the Contract
the Authority shall reimburse the Contractor with any direct costs which the
Contractor incurs for permitting or making available the items set out in Clause 36.17
or cooperating with the Authority or Follow-On-Contractor.

ANNEX A TO SCHEDULE 4
THE EXIT PLAN
The purpose of this plan is to establish a method for the organised closeout of the
project or any partial closeout based on a request for a partial termination plan. The
scope of this plan includes the provisions needed to enable the Contractor to cease
providing the services supplied under this Contract at the Expiry Date or Termination
Date and to permit the Authority or a Follow-On Contractor to commence provision
of those services while minimising any disruption to or deterioration of the
performance of the services supplied under this Contract during and after the
retendering period or partial termination. The plan provides for the definition of the
exit assistance services that the Contractor will perform to ensure a successful transfer
to the Authority or a Follow-On Contractor with no or minimal disruption or
deterioration to the services supplied under this Contract.

3 Exit Timeline
This Exit Plan will be updated within ninety (90) calendar days following the
completion of the Short Term Transformation Period. The initial Exit Strategy
Succession Planning Documents and the Initial checklists in the Handover plan will
be brought up to date and actions required by the contractor will be updated for
delivery to the Authority, for the Authority’s consideration and comment.
The Authority shall respond with written comments to the Contractor within 30
Business Days following receipt of the draft Exit Plan.
OFFICIAL SENSITIVE - COMMERCIAL
Page 514
OFFICIAL SENSITIVE - COMMERCIAL
The Contractor shall submit a final version of the Exit Plan to the Authority for
approval within thirty (30) Business Days of receipt by the Contractor of the
Authority’s written comments on the Exit Plan and, provided such final version
properly addresses the comments of the Authority, the Authority shall reasonably
approve the plan.
The Exit Plan shall be reviewed by the Contractor on an annual basis following the
approval of the plan identified in Section 3.1. Where updates are required, the Exit
Plan shall be updated and submitted to the Authority for consideration, comment and
approval as part of the annual review process.
Included with the original Exit Plan delivery is a succession plan for the Named
Contractors. Each Named Contractor will develop a unique succession planning
chain for their position which will be reviewed annually (following the initial
submission after the Short Term Transformation Period) by the Talent Management
team and the CEO. This succession plan will be developed in accordance with the
annual talent management program referred to in paragraph 2.5 of Part 10 of Schedule
3.
The Handover Plan will describe the physical documents, deliverables, data, software,
manuals, equipment, etc., that will be turned over from the Contractor to the Authority
Staff or named agent of the Authority. These items will be defined initially following
the Short Term Transformation period, but will need to be updated annually as new
data elements and new items are developed and/or identified by the Contractor. This
plan will consist of the following elements:
Demobilisation Checklist
5 Critical Controls
This plan is owned by the CEO of DIDO. All requests for Retendering Data based on
a notice from the Authority to the Contractor that the Authority intends to retender
this Contract (a Notice of Intent to Retender), or Exit Data related to a partial
termination, will be requested through the CEO of DIDO. All changes to the
document or any part of this document will be approved by signature by the CEO of
DIDO.
OFFICIAL SENSITIVE - COMMERCIAL
Page 515
OFFICIAL SENSITIVE - COMMERCIAL
Retendering Materials and any Exit Data will be transferred to DIGA upon written
request, or as defined in the Handover Plan. All requests will be delivered within 30
Business Days of the request unless otherwise specified. Confidential data will be
marked as such or redacted to protect proprietary information related to the
Contractor.
The following exit assistance services are available to the Authority. Unless
otherwise requested by the Authority, the services are delivered in accordance with
this Exit Plan or as requested for early termination or after a Notice of Intent to
Retender. Any services beyond this list are available following a request through
Schedule 12 of the Contract:
8 Continuity of Services
The Contractor will maintain the Named Contractors in position and they will execute
the final exit strategy in accordance with timelines developed in the Handover Plan.
The removal of resources will occur in a planned sequence in full cooperation with
the Authority. Furthermore, the Contractor will identify personnel available to
support any transition (full or partial termination) following the Expiry Date or
Termination Date.
9 Work in Progress
It is the nature of this project that there will be work in progress and therefore,
definition of orderly transfer of open work is limited to the turnover of work under the
direct control of Named Contractors, notwithstanding the work being implemented by
Authority personnel working as subordinates to the Named Contractors. The
Turnover of work in progress will be detailed in the Handover Plan as this work is
unknown at this time.
Named Contractors who are responsible for the delivery of exit services are identified
in the Handover Plan.
OFFICIAL SENSITIVE - COMMERCIAL
Page 516
OFFICIAL SENSITIVE - COMMERCIAL
The Contractor will work closely with the Authority at all times to minimise cost.
When a request for partial termination or Notice of Intent to Retender is provided to
the CEO, an action officer will be appointed and all interaction with the Authority will
be coordinated with this one individual. The action officer will manage the response,
maintaining control of the cost and schedule to provide the response and assure to the
CEO that the requirement will be met with minimal disruption and cost impact to the
overall project.

ANNEX B TO SCHEDULE 4
EXIT STRATEGY SUCCESSION PLAN
The purpose of the Exit Strategy succession planning program in the DIDO is to
ensure a ready supply of internal talent for key positions at the time of contract expiry
or termination. It is the intent of the Contractor to help the Authority develop
Authority Personnel to the full extent of their potential and, to the extent possible for
the organisation, to help them achieve realistic career goals that satisfy both individual
and organisational requirements. The Contractor organisation is firmly committed to
helping Authority Personnel develop their potential so that they are prepared and
qualified to assume positions in line with individual career goals and organisational
requirements.
At least once each year, the CEO will sponsor as part of the annual performance and
development process:
A succession planning activity that will assess how well the organisation is
positioned to meet replacement requirements by promotions or other personnel
movements from within
Individual development planning to provide the means for action plans to help
individuals narrow the developmental gap between what they already know or
can do and what they must know or do to qualify for advancement.
The output from the performance and potential assessments will be collated and
presented for review by the senior teams in DIGA and DIDO. The senior teams will
review and discuss those staff identified as ‘star performers’ and ‘high potential’ staff.
An example of the output we will produce is shown below:
OFFICIAL SENSITIVE - COMMERCIAL
Page 518
OFFICIAL SENSITIVE - COMMERCIAL
This annual review with the senior staff team facilitates cross-departmental review of
individuals, in an effort to gain full knowledge of the staff available for promotion.
The team will recommend various annual developmental tasks for the high potential
staff such as:

ANNEX C TO SCHEDULE 4
HANDOVER PLAN
The Handover plan contains a brief description of the knowledge, data, materials, and
specific items that will be handed over upon termination or expiry of the Contract.
The plan will define all work in progress, documents, deliverables, books, items and
equipment that must be handed over to the Authority and/or to the Authority’s named
designate. This plan is updated annually as information is developed and data items
are created or disposed from the Project. A final handover plan is developed at one
year from the Expiry Date or within 30 Business Days of the Authority’s notice of
termination or Notice of Intent to Retender is planned. This final handover plan will
contain the data elements required for turnover to the Authority.
The Handover Plan is structured into a series of Turnover Packages. Each package is
focused on a particular topic and each package will be owned by a Named Contractor.
There will be minor differences in the content of each package between the
incorporated and unincorporated models, but the concept remains the same. During
the life-cycle of the Contract, as items are identified that will require turnover or a
defined exit strategy, they are listed in the package and materials are defined and
developed for eventual turnover.

equipment, facilities and other items or other knowledge. This checklist will be

5.4 In determining the CP Baseline for any Capital Project DIDO shall follow the
“Project Review Boards” process described in paragraph 22.1 of Part 2 of Schedule 3.
5.5 Where a CP Baseline has not been determined for any Capital Project in
accordance with the time requirements set out in paragraphs 5.2 or 5.3 (as applicable),
the Authority shall be entitled to notify the Contractor of its estimate of the scope of
work, cost budget and of activities for such Capital Project which estimate shall be
deemed to be the CP Baseline (and which estimated cost budget shall be deemed to be
the Budgeted Cost) for the purposes of calculating Capital Projects Service
Deductions pursuant to paragraph 5.1 until such time as a CP Baseline has been
determined.
5.6 The Contractor shall procure that DIDO provides to the Authority all reports
and information required by the Authority in order to carry out the calculations
required to determine in any Quarter whether any Capital Projects Service Deductions
have accrued in such Quarter in respect of any Capital Projects, and in the absence of
such reports and information the Authority shall be entitled to make such assumptions
as to the actual performance of such Capital Projects as it considers appropriate.
5.7 The Contractor shall procure that DIDO does not submit any Capital Projects
to Main Gate for which the Authority has not yet approved Applicable Benchmarks
and User Acceptance Criteria except with the prior written approval of the Authority
to the contrary. The Parties agree that such Applicable Benchmarks can reasonably
be provided, taking account in each case of relevant government and commercial data.

Quarter “qn” shall be equal to the Disposal Proceeds Percentage of all Net Disposal
Proceeds received in the immediately preceding Quarter.
6.2 Where and to the extent at the time of calculation of any Disposals Incentive
Fee any Disposal Costs are known only on an estimated basis or are otherwise
uncertain the Authority shall be entitled to make a reasonable assessment of such
Disposal Costs and the Disposals Incentive Fee shall be calculated as if such
assessment were the relevant Disposal Costs. Where subsequently the Disposal Costs
which were the subject of such assessment are finally agreed or determined an amount
shall be included in the next Disposals Incentive Fee amount as an increase or
deduction to the same (as applicable) to reflect the difference between the amount of
the assessed Disposal Costs and the amount of the actual Disposal Costs.

purposes of the calculations contained in paragraphs 3.1, 4.1 and 5.1 of Part D by an
amount equal to the sum of:
(a) the aggregate total of all amounts identified by the Authority as having been
erroneously included in the Operational Cash RDEL Financial Baseline, the
Utilities Cash RDEL Financial Baseline and/or Projects Baseline and which
have been agreed or determined to have been so erroneously included
(including where such inclusion arises from an error in the annual profiling of
the Projected NGEC Savings);
(b) any amount determined by the Authority (acting reasonably and having regard
to the matters set out in Clauses 12.26 and 12.27) as being required to be
added to or deducted from the Operational Cash RDEL Financial Baseline,
Utilities Cash RDEL Financial Baseline and/or Projects Baseline (as
applicable) in order to adjust for the effects of any Assumptions At Authority
Risk proving materially incorrect;
(c) subject always to paragraphs 8.2 and 8.3 of this Part D, any amount by which,
in any given Financial Year, the savings delivered by the Next Generation
Estate Contracts (“NGEC”) are less than the Projected NGEC Savings for that
Financial Year;
(e) any amount which the Authority has determined (acting reasonably) is
required to be deducted from the Projects Baseline in order to reflect Projects
Baseline expenditure which was anticipated in the Base Case as to be incurred
but which was agreed by the Parties should not be so incurred or which would
have been incurred but for the Contractor's failure to act in accordance with
the standard of care set out in Clause 9.1(h); and
(f) such other amounts as the Parties may agree are necessary to include in order
to accurately compare the Audited Actual Operational Costs, Audited Actual
Utilities Costs and Audited Actual Projects Costs for any Financial Year with
the Operational Cash RDEL Financial Baseline, the Utilities Cash RDEL

to paragraph 8.1(c) to take into account any circumstances in respect of which the
Contractor bears some responsibility, whether or not it amounts to liability for the
purposes of this Contract. This shall include where the Authority, acting reasonably,
does not accept that the Contractor has procured that DIDO has managed NGEC in
accordance with the standard of care set out in Clause 9.1(h) during the Financial
Year in question.

1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 This Part E sets out the Service Deduction regime applicable to this Contract
in the event of under achievement of the agreed Performance Levels.
1.2 The Parties acknowledge that the purpose of Service Deductions is to:
(a) incentivise the Contractor to meet the Performance Levels and to remedy any
failure to meet the Performance Levels promptly; and
(b) provide a mechanism whereby the Authority can attain meaningful recognition
of loss resulting from the Contractor’s failure to meet the Key Performance
Indicators (KPIs).
1.3 During the period from the Commencement Date until the end of the
Transformation Period, the Authority shall not apply Service Deductions to any KPI
in respect of which relevant performance data is unavailable, provided that the
Contractor and/or DIDO (as appropriate) has used reasonable endeavours to obtain
such information, either through Authority systems or by other methods. Upon the
expiry of the Transformation Period, Service Deductions shall be applied in respect of
all KPIs in accordance with the remainder of this Part E.
2. SERVICE DEDUCTIONS
2.2 The Service Deduction for each KPI shall be calculated as follows:
(b) if the actual performance in respect of such KPI does not meet the
performance target for such KPI specified in the KPI Table, but instead falls
into performance band 2, 3 or 4 (as set out in the column headed “Performance
Bands” in Table 2 of Appendix 2 of this Schedule 7 (the Service Deduction
Table)), a service deduction shall be applied (as set out in the column headed
“Service Deduction Percentages” in the Service Deduction Table)
corresponding to the relevant performance band (for example, if the relevant
performance band is band 2, the corresponding service deduction shall be that
in the column headed “Service Deduction Percentages” and “Band 2”; and
OFFICIAL SENSITIVE - COMMERCIAL
Page 575
OFFICIAL SENSITIVE - COMMERCIAL
(c) the appropriate service deduction percentage for such KPI (as identified in
accordance with paragraph 2.2(b) above) shall then be multiplied by the
escalation factor set out in the Escalation Factor Table below and for any
Quarter forming part of the first two Contract Years after the Effective Date
(but not thereafter) shall be further multiplied by a factor of 20%:
2.3 During the period from the Commencement Date until the Effective Date no
Service Deductions shall apply. Thereafter Service Deductions shall apply subject to
the provisions of this Part E.
2.4 Subject to Clause 30, the Authority shall grant relief from specific Service
Deductions where a Relief Event occurs in respect of an Authority Dependency
provided that such relief is limited to the extent described in Schedule 25 for the
Authority Dependency in question.
3.1 The KPI Table sets out the KPIs which the Contractor is required to achieve in
the performance of this Contract (which may relate to the performance of the
Contractor or DIDO, as appropriate). The KPIs are categorised in the KPI Table into
three colours:
OFFICIAL SENSITIVE - COMMERCIAL
Page 576
OFFICIAL SENSITIVE - COMMERCIAL
(a) Green: these KPIs are consistent with the historic levels achieved in the year
prior to the Commencement Date. Service Deductions in respect of the KPIs
categorised as green shall apply from the Effective Date.
(b) Amber: these KPIs require baselining in accordance with the process set out in
paragraph 5 of this Part E on the basis that the relevant historic data is either
missing or unreliable. This baselining shall be completed as soon as
practicable following the Effective Date, and in any event within 12 months of
the Effective Date. Service Deductions in respect of the KPIs categorised as
amber shall apply immediately upon the completion of this baselining process.
(c) Red: these KPIs are currently unmeasured and require further collaborative
development by the Parties to clearly define the “Smart Measures” and the
relevant “Baseline performance targets” to be included in the KPI Table for
such KPIs. The Parties shall cooperate in good faith to achieve this by the end
of the Transformation Period following the process set out paragraph 5 of this
Part E, failing which the Authority shall instruct such amendments to the KPIs
categorised as red as it reasonably considers appropriate having regard to the
principles set out in paragraph 6 of this Part E. Service Deductions in respect
of the KPIs categorised as red shall apply immediately upon the completion of
this development process.
(a) the Contractor shall be permitted to propose (and/or the Authority may require
the Contractor to bring forward) adjustments to the KPIs in accordance with
the process set out in paragraph 4 of this Part E;
(b) the Authority may instruct additional KPIs or adjustments to existing KPIs
during the Transformation Period in accordance with paragraphs 5.1 to 5.2 of
this Part E; and
(c) either party may propose an adjustment to the KPIs in accordance with
paragraphs 5.3 to 5.4 of this Part E.
4.1 By no later than 31 January in each Financial Year the Contractor shall
provide to the Authority:
(i) may comprise any combination of the addition of new KPIs, the
deletion of existing KPIs and/or the amendment of existing KPIs in
each case subject to the principles set out in paragraph 6 of this Part E;
and
OFFICIAL SENSITIVE - COMMERCIAL

(i) the factual basis for each KPI addition, deletion or amendment and the
specific reasons for, and benefits to be derived from implementation
of, the same;
For the purposes of this paragraph 4.1(b), whether or not the details provided
are adequate will be at the Authority’s discretion.
4.2 Within 10 Business Days of receipt of the draft KPI Amendments Proposal
pursuant to paragraph 4.1 of this Part E, the Authority (acting reasonably and having
OFFICIAL SENSITIVE - COMMERCIAL
Page 578
OFFICIAL SENSITIVE - COMMERCIAL
(a) provisionally approve all or part of the draft KPI Amendments Proposal;
(b) request that the Contractor provides supplemental information and/or meets
with the Authority to discuss the draft KPI Amendments Proposal; or
(c) notify DIDO of any objections and/or proposed modifications to the draft
Infrastructure Implementation Plan that are required in order to obtain the
Authority’s approval of the draft KPI Amendments Proposal.
4.4 The Contractor shall update the draft KPI Amendments Proposal provided
pursuant to paragraph 4.1 of this Part E to reflect the final Command Plan and Control
Totals by no later than 31 March in each Financial Year, and (subject to paragraph 4.5
of this Part E) the approval process set out in paragraphs 4.2 and 4.3 of this Part E
shall then apply until the Authority has approved the final KPI Amendments Proposal.
4.5 If it is necessary for the approval process set out in paragraphs 4.2 and 4.3 of
this Part E to be followed three or more times in one year before approval has been
granted by the Authority, the Parties shall meet to discuss:
(a) the reason(s) why the draft KPI Amendments Proposal has not been approved
in each case; and
(b) methods of minimising approval time for future KPI Amendments Proposals.
4.6 If the Authority has approved part of the KPI Amendments Proposal pursuant
to paragraph 4.2(a) of this Part E:
(a) the Contractor shall implement the parts of the KPI Amendments Proposal
which have been approved; and
(b) in respect of those parts of the KPI Amendments Proposal which have not
been approved, the unamended KPIs for the forthcoming Financial Year shall
apply unless and until approval of the relevant parts of the KPI Amendments
Proposal is given by the Authority.
4.7 Subject to paragraph 4.8 of this Part E, any dispute as to the contents of the
KPI Amendments Proposal shall be resolved in accordance with Clause 43, provided
that the Contractor may only dispute whether the Authority is being reasonable in
withholding any approval pursuant to paragraphs 4.2, 4.3 or 4.4 of this Part E.

4.8 If the addition, deletion or amendment of any KPI has not been agreed within
three months of receipt by the Authority of the draft KPI Amendments Proposal the
Authority shall be entitled to determine (acting reasonably) whether such KPI is
added, deleted or amended.
4.9 If at any stage (including during the process referred to in paragraphs 4.1 to
4.4 of this Part E) any of the circumstances contemplated in limbs (a) to (c) of Clause
12.17 of the Contract occur then the provisions of Clauses 12.18 to 12.23 shall apply
save that references to variations or amendments to the Infrastructure Implementation
Plan shall be deemed to be references to variations or amendments of the KPIs.
4.10 The provisions of Clauses 12.24 to 12.30 of the Contract shall apply to the
KPI Amendments Proposal as if set out in this Part E save that for the purposes of this
paragraph all references in such clauses to the Infrastructure Implementation Plan
shall be deemed to be references to the KPI Amendments Proposal.
Transformation Review
5.1 In addition to the process set out in paragraph 4 of this Part E, the Parties shall
review progress against the KPIs in place as at the Commencement Date as part of the
Transformation Review, and where necessary the Authority may propose:
(a) adjustments to the KPIs to reflect any greater clarity achieved in respect of the
measurement of performance against KPIs and service levels achieved during
the Transformation Period, so as to ensure that the KPIs are up to date and
relevant for the remainder of the Contract Period; and
(b) additional KPIs or adjustments to the existing KPIs to ensure that the KPIs
remain effective measurements of the Contractor or DIDO’s performance (as
appropriate)for the remainder of the Contract Period,
(such proposed additional or adjusted KPIs being the Authority Adjusted KPIs).
5.2 The process for proposing the Authority Adjusted KPIs following the
Transformation Period will be as set out in paragraph 4 of this Part E.
Material change
OFFICIAL SENSITIVE - COMMERCIAL
Page 580
OFFICIAL SENSITIVE - COMMERCIAL
5.4 Disputes as to whether any adjustments to the KPIs instructed by the Authority
pursuant to paragraph 5.3 are necessary in order to address the relevant material
change in assumptions will be determined in accordance with Clause 43.
6.1 It is expected that, unless and to the extent both Parties agree in writing to the
contrary, the following principles shall apply to any adjustments to the KPIs pursuant
to the process set out above:
(a) KPIs shall be based on information that is collected in the normal course of
DIDO’s business and is either measured or readily measurable;
(b) such adjustments shall not make the KPIs more or less onerous overall (except
those KPIs that include a pre-determined improvement target within the
narrative of the “Baseline Performance Targets” column within the KPI Table
or where it is agreed or determined that a particular KPI has proven materially
more or less onerous that the Parties contemplated, and/or is not working as
intended); and
(c) such adjustments shall not reduce the number of KPIs or to redistribute the
Quarterly Payment between them in a way which increases the proportionate
risk of the Contractor of losing its fee where the Contractor fails to meet one
or more KPIs (for the avoidance of doubt, the intention of this restriction is not
to prevent fee being redistributed between KPIs to reflect adjusted priorities).
7. TERMINATION
(a) in the first half of a Quarter, the Authority shall consider the level of
abatement to the Quarterly Payment for the previous Quarter as a result of any
Service Deductions. If there was such an abatement, the Authority shall base
the abatement for the final Quarter on the abatement for the previous Quarter
(pro–rated as appropriate); or
(b) in the second half of a Quarter, the Authority shall measure the Contractor’s
progress against the relevant KPIs at the point of termination, and the KPI
abatement for the final Quarter shall be based on that measurement.
8. AUTHORITY REMEDIES
8.1 Without prejudice to the Authority’s right under Clauses 34.10 or 44 of the
Contract, Service Deductions shall be the sole financial remedy for the Contractor’s
failure to procure that DIDO operates to the baseline performance targets set out in
the KPI Table, and any costs to rectify the performance of DIDO to the baseline
performance targets set out in the KPI Table shall be met out of the DIDO RDEL or
CDEL budgets as appropriate.

9.1 Following the end of the Transformation Period, the procedures for agreeing,
changing and adjusting KPIs as set out in paragraphs 4, 5.3 and 6 of this Part E shall
apply to the Capital Projects Service Deductions mechanisms contained in the table at
paragraph 5 of Part D (the Capital Projects KPIs), mutatis mutandis and disregarding
limbs (A) to (D) of paragraph 4.1(a)(iii), such that from such date the Capital Projects
KPIs are agreed, changed and adjusted in accordance with those paragraphs.
9.2 Without prejudice to the principles set out in paragraph 6 of this Part E, where
and to the extent the Authority is of the opinion in any Financial Year that the ranking
of any Capital Project does not properly reflect the strategic military importance of
such Capital Project, the Authority shall be entitled to take account of such proper
ranking as part of the process for agreeing, changing and adjusting Capital Projects
KPIs pursuant to paragraph 9.1 above.

1.2 In this Part F, unless the contact otherwise requires the following words shall
have the following meanings:
Adjusted Windfall Gain shall have the meaning given in paragraph 2.1 below;
Exit Certificate shall have the meaning given in paragraph 2.2 below;
Gain means the monetary value (assessed on a fair and reasonable basis) received as
consideration by the Contractor for disposing of its interest in the Contract; and
2.1 Subject to Clauses 37 and 38, if the Contractor makes a Gain from:
(a) assigning or novating this Contract to a third party that is not a Contractor
Affiliate; or
(d) subsequently creating a special purpose vehicle (SPV) with third party
investors and transfers this Contract into that SPV,
then the Contractor shall pay (in accordance with the remaining paragraphs below) the
Windfall Gain to the Authority except where the Affiliate or SPV (being divested in
accordance with sub-paragraphs (a) to (d)) supplies services to more than one
customer under contract (including this Contract) then such Windfall Gain shall be
multiplied by a ‘fair percentage’ (such fair percentage to be determined by a jointly
appointed independent third party that has regard to the value of the other customer
contracts) (the Adjusted Windfall Gain) and the Contractor shall instead pay (in
accordance with the remaining paragraphs below) the Adjusted Windfall Gain to the
Authority.
2.2 By the date falling no later than 30 Business Days from the date of any Gain
the Contractor shall provide a certificate to the Authority's Representative stating
details of:
(b) the calculation of the Windfall Gain or the Adjusted Windfall Gain (subject to
the fair percentage having been decided),
2.3 The Contractor shall procure that the Exit Certificate is signed by two officers
of the Contractor and the calculation of the Windfall Gain or the Adjusted Windfall
Gain shall be confirmed in writing by the Contractor's auditor who shall provide a
report addressed to the Authority on its review of such calculation.
2.4 By the date falling no later than five Business Days from the date of issue of
the Exit Certificate the Contractor shall pay to the Authority an amount equal to the
Windfall Gain or Adjusted Windfall Gain (as applicable).
2.5 In the event that the Contractor does not provide an Exit Certificate in
accordance with paragraph 2.2, the Authority reserves the right to estimate the
Windfall Gain or Adjusted Windfall Gain from the Gain and to issue an Exit
Certificate, in which case paragraph 2.3 shall not apply but the Contractor shall
remain subject to paragraph 2.4.

Notes:
1. As Control Totals have only been issued for 10 years to DIO, figures for 24/25
are based on 23/24 uplifted by 2.2%
2. Disposal targets and CDEL funding from 20/21onwards are still subject to
discussion and further agreement with DG Fin. The disposal targets are
currently derived from the final issued ABC14 CDEL Control Totals
3. "unspecified projects". The Authority to approve expenditure against this
funding has not been delegated by the Authority to DIDO. Delegation to
approve expenditure against this funding will be given when requirements are
confirmed.
The Authority shall make available additional funding (in addition to that contained
within the Base Case) of £20m to fund any additional costs directly related to
implementation of DIDO’s Information Management System (“IMS”). Subject
always to the Contractor having procured that DIDO has managed the implementation
of the IMS system in accordance with standards required by Clause 9.1(h) such
funding shall be available to be drawn down by DIDO as and when needed for such
purposes. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the full costs of IMS
implementation cannot be predicted with certainty and that, in the event that
additional funds above £20m are required, the Contractor shall be entitled to submit
business cases for any additional funding which may be required to complete the
implementation of the IMS system (such cases to be considered by the Authority
acting reasonably). For the avoidance of doubt, this does not constitute any form of
commitment on the part of the Authority to approve any such business cases.

SCHEDULE 20
SCHEDULE 21
In this Schedule the Parties have sought to identify the Contractor’s Confidential Information
that is genuinely commercially sensitive and the disclosure of which would be contrary to the
public interest.
Note 2: In addition to the concerns relating to other information, the Contractor would be
materially commercially disadvantaged by disclosure at any time of cost and financial
information related to its charges and the performance of this Contract because such
OFFICIAL SENSITIVE – COMMERCIAL

information is of value to its competitors both in relation to any future competitive tendering
and general market positioning.
Note 3: Notwithstanding the above table and Notes 1 and 2, the Contractor agrees that all
information relating to DIDO’s performance (including records and information that DIDO
must create and/or maintain and minutes of meetings relating to DIDO performance) is not
Commercially Sensitive Information. The Contractor also acknowledges that certain
information relating to this Contract will need to made available to entities involved in any
retendering of this Contract in accordance with Clause 36, and that nothing in rows 1 to 4 and 8
of the above table is intended to limit the provisions of the Contract in this regard.
SCHEDULE 22
1. INTRODUCTION
(a) demonstrate an effective strategy to access specialist market knowledge, resources and
wider skills beyond its Named Contractors on an ongoing basis to support the delivery
of the Authority’s requirements and the Infrastructure Implementation Plan (IIP); and
(b) confirm that it will provide such corporate reach-back and additional specialist market
knowledge in order to deliver the IIP at its own risk and at no cost to the Authority.
2. OVERARCHING PRINCIPLES
2.1 The following section sets out the Authority’s overarching principles to be considered
by Bidders when developing its reach-back proposals:
(a) The primary purpose of reach-back is to allow for access to corporate knowledge and
additional corporate resources outside of the SBP management team (“Named
Contractors”). This may be where the SBP considers that the IIP and/or additional
financial savings can be better or more quickly delivered through the injection of
additional resources.
(b) The costs of providing reach-back must be met entirely by the SBP.
(c) When considering the use of reach-back, the SBP needs to ensure that DIDO remains a
sustainable organisation in the long term. The primary role of the SBP is therefore to
embed the required skills into DIDO (for example through training and recruitment)
rather than through implanting additional SBP resources in the organisation that will be
removed when the SBP relationship ceases.
(d) The concept of reach-back is one of accessing SBP corporate capability so that DIDO
can deliver its requirements on an ongoing basis.
(e) When considering its options to fill any skills gaps or posts, DIDO must demonstrate
that it has considered the use of normal recruitment processes and not merely relied on
the availability of SBP resource. Any arrangements for temporary filling of posts
through reach-back that are put in place must consider and comply with legislation and
Authority Policy Rules and Guidance (including in relation to TUPE, public
procurement and the approvals process for use of consultants).
(f) The Authority wishes to encourage the use of reach-back to promote best practice
through DIDO and considers this could be done through, but is not limited to: provision
of corporate best practice, information, red team reviews, joint training, secondments or
interchange of DIDO staff to the SBP partner organisations (and vice versa) and other
similar mechanisms. Any secondments must comply with Authority Policy Rules and
Guidance.
(g) It is expected that proposals in relation to reach-back will be set out in the IIP and
updated as part of the IIP on an annual basis
3.1 The following section sets out where the Authority’s believes corporate reach-back
could be used by an SBP.
3.2 The provision of SBP staff to DIDO to temporarily plug any unfilled long term post.
The SBP will be required to demonstrate that DIDO has first tried or is trying to fill the shortage
through the normal channels, which are likely to include:
3.3 Any short term posts will be subject to the manpower substitution provisions which
provide for a maximum duration of 11 months.
3.4 The provision of information on how its corporate uses processes/ best market practice
for the benefit of DIDO.
3.5 Additional reach-back resource may be required to manage projects volume, spikes in
activity or specialist activity.
3.6 Projects resources required will be determined on an annual basis through the IIP
process. The SBP will be expected to provide reach-back to support the programme of work
where required. There may also be other spikes in activity, one off projects or specialists
requirements that do not merit the recruitment of a long term post where the SBP will be able to
offer support from its organisation on a temporary basis.
Supplemental training
3.7 The provision of reach-back to supplement existing Authority training to up-skill the
DIDO workforce and gain and maintain market knowledge. For example, it is envisaged that
the SBP may use its reach-back to provide onsite and offsite training to DIDO resources as well
as the use of seminars and ad hoc training courses to enable DIDO staff to better perform its
functions and deliver the IIP.
3.8 Whilst the Authority sees up-skilling and training DIDO staff as an important part of
reach-back, formal training must adhere to any Authority Policy Rules and Guidance and use
the training facilities / personnel presently provided to the wider Authority.
OFFICIAL SENSITIVE – COMMERCIAL
Page 1258
OFFICIAL SENSITIVE - COMMERCIAL
3.9 The SBP may wish to use reach-back to inject temporary SBP staff into DIDO to help
support procurements to accelerate the timetable and therefore savings available.
3.10 Reach-back may be used where DIDO requires access to a limited specialist skill set to
complete a task which is not a full time position. The SBP is encouraged to provide support
subject to demonstrating that they have tried to fill the requirement through normal channels as
set out above or where it is not value for money or cost effective to do so i.e. for a short term/
one off task.
4.1 The following section sets out what is not permissible under the concept of reach-back.
Using reach-back for the long term filling of DIDO posts and/ or requirement for specific
technical specialist requirement on an on-going basis:
4.2 Such ongoing or long term needs are to be filled in the long term by a permanent
employee where that post is considered necessary in the long term.
4.3 Where a lack of resources has been identified by DIDO and/ or DIDO does not have the
relevant skills set, DIDO supported by the SBP, would review the options for addressing that
shortage or skills gap. This may include the use of agency staff, existing frameworks or
external recruitment where the post cannot be filled internally. As per the existing DIO process,
a business case would need to be made to establish the need and review the options. It is
considered that it would not be appropriate for the SBP to fill this gap through corporate reach-
back on a long term basis.
4.4 DIDO should be a sustainable organisation with appropriate internal skills and supply
chain to manage Urgent Operational Requirements (“UOR”). Therefore, DIDO should not be
reliant on the SBP Corporate reach-back to fill Urgent Operational Requirements. However the
Authority does recognises that there may be certain instances where reach-back may be required
for UOR on a short term resource requirement basis (as per 3.1 above), and in such
circumstances this may be permissible.
4.5 The SBP cannot substitute its own staff for DIDO staff through corporate reach-back.
DIDO wants to ensure that it is appropriately up-skilled and staffed so that there is a sustainable
organisation going forward, rather than an organisation filled with temporary posts.
4.6 Corporate reach-back should not be used to plug any gaps in the delivery supply chain.
The role of the SBP is strategic only and not delivery focused. The use of corporate reach-back
should not result in any conflict of interest with any existing delivery frameworks and must be
in compliance with the Contractor’s Conflicts Management Policy.
OFFICIAL SENSITIVE – COMMERCIAL
Page 1259
OFFICIAL SENSITIVE - COMMERCIAL
Using reach- back to increase the scope of the contract or role of the SBP:
4.7 The use of reach-back should not be used as a way to increase the scope of the contract
or role of the SBP so that it falls outside the scope that was advertised in the original OJEU
notice.
SCHEDULE 23
PAPER
1. INTRODUCTION
(a) The Authority would like to pursue further Spend to Save and Pump Priming
initiatives but may not have the funds available to pursue them itself.
(b) As such it would wish to have a facility whereby it can request that the SBP funds
such initiatives on behalf of the Authority.
(c) Primarily the Authority envisages that it will be DIDO that pursues the initiative
with the support of the SBP and any corporate reach back facility (see principles for
reach-back at the end of this paper).
(d) The Authority would, however, be unable to invest alongside the SBP as it is not
permitted to mix public and private funds. The Authority would, however, retain
the right to fund the initiative in its entirety.
(e) The SBP would earn a return on its money investment and be reimbursed its
money investment. This would tend to be a priority return (assuming no senior debt
funding) and payable from the savings or disposal receipts generated.
(f) The SBP is to bid a cap and collar for this return, providing the parameters for the
return that can be earned by the SBP. These are to be bid during the process together
with any other conditions.
(g) Costs to be incurred by DIDO pursuing such initiatives must be transparent and pre-
agreed with the Authority.
(h) At the start of each stage (see below), the SBP and DIDO will document how VFM
will be measured and assessed at each subsequent stage.
2.1 Overarching intention is that this relates to upfront money investment to drive future
revenue savings.
(a) Stage 1 – DIDO to put forward its initial proposals (options analysis, costings,
projected savings and SBP proposed return on investment, accounting treatment) for
Authority to consider.
(b) As part of its initial proposal, the SBP should set out its proposed role in the initiative
and consider whether the initiative is in compliance with the procurement rules, together
with any other options the Authority may have to procure the initiative.
(c) If acceptable, DIDO would develop the proposal further to a point where it is ready to
be implemented including the detailed costing proposed etc. (stage 2).
(d) The return on the SBP’s money investment is contingent on the delivery of the
savings and payable only once. However that capital invested and return may be
recouped over a period of time where the savings are delivered over a period of time.
(e) The return is to be agreed on a case by case basis – subject to a cap and collar to be bid
at ITN.
(f) If the principle of the initiative is accepted at stage 1 and DIDO develops the detailed
costing (stage 2), and the Authority does not then approve the detailed proposal (and the
SBP demonstrates that it would have delivered VFM), the Authority will reimburse the
SBP’s reasonable costs.
(g) Reasonable costs include any third party costs and reach-back costs the SBP has
incurred as a result of pursuing that initiative beyond stage 1. Such costs are to be
agreed prior to the commencement of the work and capped at that level as being the
maximum to be reimbursed should the Authority not pursue the initiative beyond
stage 2 (subject to the VFM assessment above).
2.3 Spend to save scenarios are set out below for illustrative purposes only.
Authority accepts Authority rejects The Authority must reimburse the SBP reasonable costs including
proposal. Proceeds stage 2 proposals and SBP staff costs (corporate reach back) in working up the detailed
to stage 2 proposal would have proposal, advisers or third party costs if applicable, albeit the
offered VFM latter should be minimal as should mainly be DIDO costs as the
assumption is that it is procured through it rather than the SBP.
Costs are to be agreed prior to the commencement of the work and
capped at that level as being the maximum to be reimbursed should

3.1 The overarching intention is that this relates to capital investment to kick start an
initiative that will result in a capital receipt (rather than the primary purpose being to
deliver on-going savings as per spend to save, although future savings may occur as a result
of the pump priming). Examples might include:
(a) funding the provision of upfront infrastructure in-order to improve the value of land to
be brought to the market. i.e. one off capital injection and associated works upfront to
deliver a future capital receipt.
(b) investing in planning advice to change the use of land or improve the value of that
land. i.e. one off capital injection for third party services to improve the value of an
asset or to maximise future sale proceeds.
3.2 It is considered this will not involve the SBP providing strategic management input
upfront to maximise value – as this is part of the remit in any event, needs to be compliant
with the principles of corporate reach-back and the SBP would get rewarded through the
incentive fee mechanism for disposals and projects.
(a) Stage 1 - DIDO to put forward its initial proposals (options analysis, costings, projected
receipts and associated capital expenditure, planning implications and SBP proposed
return on investment, accounting treatment) for Authority to consider. The stage 1
proposal is also to consider wider issues such as re-provisioning costs, stakeholder
management etc.
(b) As part of its initial proposal, the SBP should set out its proposed role in the initiative
and consider whether the initiative is in compliance with the procurement rules, together
with any other options the Authority may have to procure the initiative.
(c) If acceptable to the Authority, DIDO is to develop the proposal further to a point
where it is ready to go to market including detailed costing proposed etc. (stage 2).
Projected receipts are to be supported by independent third party valuations.
(d) The return on investment is contingent on the delivery of the initiative and payable
from subsequent net disposal receipts.
(e) If the net proceeds from disposal are insufficient to repay the capital and the return as a
result of the disposal not generating the level of receipts envisaged by the SBP, the
SBP’s capital and return will be limited to that increase in value. If no additional value
is generated, no capital or return will be payable.
(f) The return is to be agreed on a case by case basis – subject to a cap and collar to be bid
at ITN
(g) The SBP will additionally share in the net disposal incentive fee as per the PMPP. For
the avoidance of doubt this will also be net of any investment made by the SBP so there
is no double counting.
(h) If the principle of the initiative is accepted at stage 1 and DIDO develops to the
detailed costing (stage 2), and the Authority does not then approve the detailed proposal
(and the SBP demonstrates that it would have delivered VFM), the Authority will
reimburse the SBP’s reasonable costs.
(i) Reasonable costs include any third party costs or reach-back costs the SBP has incurred
as a result of pursuing that initiative beyond stage 1. Such costs are to be agreed prior to
the commencement of the work and capped at that level as being the maximum to be
reimbursed should the Authority not pursue the initiative beyond Stage 2 (subject to
the VFM assessment above)
(j) Unlike the spend to save there is an additional provision which allows for the Authority
to get independent input / advisers to look at the proposals to make sure proposals are
competitive. DIDO is to meet the cost of such advice.

alternatively, the SBP could invest directly in the road and procure it direct.

AUTHORITY DEPENDENCIES
In addition to limbs (a) to (f) of the definition of Authority Dependencies, the additional dependencies set out in this Schedule 25 shall also
constitute Authority Dependencies. The Authority shall have no obligation to perform any dependency unless specifically set out in the
Contract or in this Schedule 25.
The Authority Dependencies shall be provided to the Contractor free of charge (which may be accounted for either within the DIDO budgets
(RDEL or CDEL as appropriate) or within other wider Authority budgets), unless otherwise agreed in writing between the Parties.
Nothing within this Schedule 25 is intended to replace the obligations of the Contractor to undertake the day to day management of DIDO or
and to mitigate any dependency failure.
The Authority shall, in relation to this Contract, perform the Authority Dependencies identified below. Subject to Clause 30, where the
Dependency Requirement listed in this Schedule 25 has not been met, the specified ‘Relief’ shall apply and the Mitigation Plan shall be
implemented. Each Authority Dependency shall be made continually available to the Contractor (including Named Contractors and/or

Dear [Name]
LETTER OF DELEGATION
Introduction
1. As the Top Level Budget Holder for the Defence Infrastructure Organisation
(DIO), I am responsible for the delivery of a range of outputs, directly related
to the MOD’s infrastructure requirements. To discharge my responsibilities,
the Permanent Under Secretary (the MOD’s Principal Accounting Officer) has
delegated to me a range of financial and other authorities. A copy of PUS’s
letter of delegation to me is enclosed.
3. In your role as Chief Executive you are responsible for the delivery of the
agreed outputs of DIDO.
4. Whilst you must exercise discretion, set appropriate limits and follow
government and Departmental guidelines, I encourage you to sub-delegate
your authorities to the maximum extent consistent with sound management,
and within the limits I have set. Sub-delegation must be undertaken formally
in writing to named individuals, who are to acknowledge receipt and confirm
that they understand the terms and extent of their delegated authorities. You
will ensure that a copy of all letters of delegation (down to B1 appointment) is
provided to the Deputy CFO as they are agreed.
Conduct of Business
5. In delivering those outputs, you need to recognise the distinction between the
authority to approve new expenditure, and the authority to execute approved
expenditure within your issued Control Totals.
OFFICIAL SENSITIVE - COMMERCIAL
c. Ensuring that publicly funded assets and other resources are used only in
the public service and that a clear distinction is maintained between public
and non-public funds; if in doubt you must consult the Senior Finance
Officer (SFO) of DIDO; and
7. You are responsible for supporting me in ensuring that the systems of internal
control and business risk management across DIDO are operating efficiently
and effectively. Systems of control should ensure:
a. The reliability and integrity of financial and operating information and the
means for capturing and reporting such information;
c. The safeguarding of assets from loss or theft and ensuring that all losses
are reported and investigated to prevent any recurrence;
d. The economic and efficient use of resources and the achievement of value
for money; and
8. When exercising your approval authority, you must comply with the DIDO
and IAC Control Framework, including development and scrutiny of robust
business cases.
10. You have authority to execute the delivery of approved contracts, pay bills,
recover costs, make low value purchases through the use of the Government
Procurement Card (GPC) mechanism, and approve expenditure against your
outputs up to your agreed Control Total, and in line with agreed outputs and
targets. I recognise that you will be required to commit expenditure beyond the
financial year prior to formal agreement of your subsequent annual budget and
you have the authority to do so. You should base your decision on your current
issued Control Totals and recognising any future spending restrictions. If you
OFFICIAL SENSITIVE - COMMERCIAL
have any concerns in this area you will discuss the situation with me prior to
making the commitment.
Financial scrutiny
12. When exercising your delegated authority, you must ensure that:
b. The costs incurred can be met within existing budgetary limits issued to
you as a result of the Annual Budget Cycle, and, in particular, that Control
Totals (as adjusted during the in-year management process) are not
breached;
d. You have complied with the current Cabinet Office / Efficiency Reform
Group (ERG) controls 3 ; noting that these controls are subject to regular
change; and
e. Any issues relating to the use of public funds which risk conflicting with
legislative requirements, HMT’s Managing Public Money or other HMT
guidance, or are novel or contentious or raise issues of financial principle
which are outside your delegated powers, must be raised with the SFO. 4
You do not have the authority to make any commitment until that advice
has been received and the commitment has been authorised.

a. You have been delegated the authority to recruit into all civilian posts
within the agreed organisational design for DIDO. However, you have no
authority to commit to external recruitment without the approval of the
SFO, in line with Departmental policy.
b. You have the authority to create and abolish posts, re-grade existing posts
and/or change the grade mix (up to and including Pay Band B) – subject to
remaining within your resource control total and acting in accordance with
the limits of your delegated complementing powers as set out in JSP 462.
In exercising your authority you must observe the principles and standards
as laid down in the Civil Service Management Code.
15. You have the authority to execute contractual commitments from the resources
available within your issued Control Totals. However the authority to enter
into any arrangement, in whatever form, which places a commitment upon the
MOD such as placing, amending contracts, or dealing with claims arising, can
only be exercised by staff holding written authority from the MOD
Commercial Director through DIDO Hd Commercial. This letter does not
convey any commercial authority. Any sub-delegations you make should
ensure you maintain complete clarity and separation between financial
authority and Commercial authority.
OFFICIAL SENSITIVE - COMMERCIAL
Business Continuity
17. You should ensure that appropriate Business Continuity plans and processes
are in place to manage the risks associated with the continuation of business 5
in your area of responsibility. The SFO is the senior responsible person for
Business Continuity in DIDO.
19. In the event of a request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000, you
should provide the information requested accurately and within the time
constraints allowed as guided by the SFO.
20. You should ensure that the processing of information relating to individuals
(both Service and civilian), including the obtaining, recording, holding or use
or disclosure of such information within DIDO, complies with relevant
guidance. 6 The Chief Information and Process Officer (CIPO) has been
appointed as Data Protection Officer, Chief Information Officer and Senior
Information Risk Owner (SIRO), and is the principal TLB source of
authoritative advice on this issue.
21. Responsibility for the provision of a safe working environment rests with us
all. Wherever DIDO staff or their contractors are employed they are required
to follow the site H&S rules and requirements at all times, and where DIDO is
the Hd of Establishment appropriate arrangements should be set in place and
rigorously applied. This in no way removes the duty of care from the chain of

the largest unit, is to set up arrangements to ensure that there is co-operation
between the lead and all lodger units, including contractors. The safety and
environmental protection command and control arrangements will normally
follow those of the lead headquarters or unit. Arrangements are to be covered
by formal letters of agreement for each such site.
23. I have copied this letter to the Senior Finance Officer and will publish it, and
any subsequent amendments, on the DIDO Intranet. All subsequent letters of
delegation to SCS and military equivalents that you issue will also be
published.
24. Finally, you should write to me to confirm that you understand the terms and
extent of your delegated authorities and the accountability that they entail.
Yours sincerely,
