The work will be completed in its entirety by March 2024. The different parts of the review have different deadlines for delivery, cf. Annex 3 to the contract. The estimated value of the procurement is up to NOK 7 million excluding VAT. The estimated value is not binding for the contracting authority.

The work requires a close contract with the contracting authority and other stakeholders. Furthermore, it is emphasised that parts one and two will be prepared simultaneously due to issues with timing in connection with the new long-term plan (LTP) and budget 2025. It should be noted that external investigators require access to/use of security-cleared personnel, as much of the PBC activities for the defence sector relate to operational needs that are linked to our plans and will therefore be security-classified information. The estimated value of the procurement is up to NOK 7 million excluding VAT. The estimated value is not binding for the contracting authority.
