If the Department identify a new service requirement they can ask BT to submit a proposal for its supply

3.24  Over the ten year period it is likely that new telecommunications services will become available because of technological change. This is likely to lead to the Department redefining their requirements or taking opportunities to improve the delivery of their existing requirements. The Department recognised this and if they or BT identify a new service requirement, the Department can request a proposal from BT for its delivery. If the Department are not satisfied with BT's proposals, they can seek the service from another supplier. These terms are intended to allow competition and to ensure that any proposal by BT delivers value for money. The Department will also be able in the annual reviews to amend the content of the price baskets for telecommunications services, to reflect new technology.
