This procedure can be used for procurements above the relevant contract value threshold.

This is an accelerated procedure.

Justification

Use of the Accelerated Restricted Procedure was deemed appropriate due to reasons of urgency, and allowing the periods normally required would have safety implications to the Warrior Infantry Fighting Vehicle (IFV) crew whilst on Operations.
