Description

Remedial Action

Contractor has not achieved required schedule.

Issue closed. A Deed of Settlement, Release and Amendment signed in April 2009, included agreement to a revised schedule for completion of all contract activities.

Fixed Network software development had not achieved the agreed schedule.

A technical review and a schedule review were conducted between August and November 2008. The technical review recommended that the project was technically achievable and the schedule review indentified a number of improvements to the contractor's proposed schedule. The contractor baselined this schedule in November 2008 and has since been achieving reasonable progress against this schedule.

Contractor delays will delay completion of Mobiles upgrades beyond current project completion date.

Address with Capability Development Group in context of schedule review for contract deliverables and the impact on other project deliverables.

As a consequence of delays to Final System Acceptance, the Project has had to provide fixed network operators for the operational Core system following post-out of Navy fixed network operators as of January 2009 (in accordance with Navy's long-term plans). The Contractor is to supply fixed network operators when the Network Operation and Support Contract commences late 2009.

The Project has contracted directly with recruitment agencies to fill this gap.
