Mobilisation factors to consider would include:

Establish a mobilisation plan

Mutual agreement about the level of detailed required to get up and running.

Get wider input into design and specification before work begins.

Create shared transition goals and responsibilities.

Set aside time and resource

Allow both suppliers and government sufficient time to prepare resources and plans.

Dedicate funding to ensure a high-quality transition.

Explicitly recognise challenges.

Bring in staff with specific expertise.

Use effective processes

Set realistic timetables and milestones.

Establish governance processes and reporting arrangements.

Work together, involving previous suppliers where applicable.

Apply performance measures, whether interim or full, to see how performance is progressing.

Monitor the results

Ensure there is a mechanism for tracking the deliverability of mobilisation obligations to ensure:

• Obligations are documented and understood.

• Obligations are risk assessed early.

Apply a benefits realisation approach.
