Explanation

Note 1. The date of original tender, and therefore the base dollar date of the original contract, was October 1995 and contained the number of vehicles contracted in June 1999.

Note 2. One additional vehicle provided by Thales as consideration for sale of vehicles to the Netherlands.

Note 3. Contract Amendment 22 included the additional PP2 vehicle as consideration for schedule relief for an overseas order and the incorporation of the final negotiated quantity of 293 vehicles for PP3.

Note 4. During negotiations with Thales for the additional PP3 vehicles, the project has prepared for the continuity of production by acquiring long lead time items and material incorporated into the contract in February 2008.

Note 5. As outlined in the Background Information, the acquisition contract is the contractual mechanism used to purchase the operational enhancements valued at $54m being acquired through the Rapid Acquisition process. These do not form part of Land 116 Phase 3 but have been included here for a complete understanding of the value of the current contract.

Note 6. Total does not add due to rounding.
