c. Engagement of MOD, Navy and DES stakeholders and others as appropriate;.
d. Regular reporting of delivery against the programme milestones;.
e. Overseeing programme team activity, including Requirements Management and Project Controls;
f. Production of all necessary programme plans and managed delivery of these documents

Consultancy Value Statement: Actual Value Delivered

Financial Value Statement:
There is no quantifiable value, because this was an expenditure required to bridge a gapped post while recruitment was not an option due to the Navy Command recruitment freeze. Without this position being filled there is a chance that the programme would have stalled and delivery would have been delayed -impacting Command Plan outputs.
Non-Financial Value Statement:
The contractor brought continuity to the programme which mitigated the risk of any programme delays. The contractor also provided SQEP in a newly formed programme team which was invaluable.
