Bidding for Defence equipment business

In my most recent post, I used this symbol to represent the deliverable, Packaging Handling, Storage & Transportation Plan. In that post, the symbol is nested in a larger deliverable - the Outline Integrated Support Plan.

The post illustrated the scope and type of effort required to get the engineering part of the tender completed, often in a short time scale. This example is for a small land-based Defence equipment system.

Here is a list of the other deliverables you might need to submit with a tender; at least in outline;
