relating to the FFCP; and to:

 a) Validate the procurement approach;

Fighter Capability identified by the Project Authority.

methodology and preferred Supplier selection methodology; and review of the evaluation of bids/proposals undertaken.  Review of other strategic procurement 
activities and/or documents will be provided by the Contractor on an ‘as and when requested’ basis.  The services and deliverables provided this work will be used by 
the Government of Canada to support the decision-making processes that will ultimately lead to procurement recommendations submitted to FFCP Governance.

The Contractor will conduct its work in parallel with other third party contractors (such as Fairness Monitor, third party support experts etc.) engaged by Canada.  The
