MOD has retained or is sharing some key risks where it is value for money to do so

1.26 Modus will provide IT infrastructure in the decant buildings and in the refurbished Main Building, whereas MOD bears the risk of providing the IT systems. As its IT requirements continually evolve and could not be predetermined in the same way as its space requirement, MOD decided it was not appropriate to transfer the IT systems risk to Modus. In addition, MOD did not transfer IT risk to Modus for the decant buildings as it did not know when procuring the contract how many different systems were extant. MOD, therefore, contracted with third-party suppliers for the relocation of systems to the decant buildings and will do so for the provision of the future information technology environment and associated IT systems within Main Building. If MOD does not carry out these activities within a defined timescale, Modus can claim for an extension of time and compensation to complete reoccupation of Main Building. To mitigate against the risk of this occurring, MOD needs to plan and co-ordinate its moves thoroughly with Modus.
