You have discussed the potential opportunity with Mike Downer, the company CEO, who is keen to submit a bid for the
Tender.
A meeting is held with all the relevant stakeholders to discuss the opportunity in more details.
During the meeting, the nature and level of resources required was determined as followed:
This project would need to be established as a separate business unit within CKA
This business unit will need to be over and above CFA current budget and KPI’s
Agreed contingency budget of 5% to be built into the overall project budget
CEO has requested an additional 20% profit margin on total project

this project if the event of successful tender bid. This will be an added benefit as this overhead will be absorbed by CFA and
not added as a budgeted project expense.
It has been determined that an additional three (3) full-time staff will need to be acquired on a twelve-month contract to
meet the resource demand, to enable delivery of the required one hundred (100) vehicles within twelve (12) months. It is
estimated each new contractor will cost approx. $85,000.00 including training time and superannuation.
