Re-working/ working up of projects
THERE WERE SOME QUESTIONS RELATED TO THE RE-WORKING/ WORKING UP OF PROJECTS.
So here goes:
For CTD and STW
- The submission on the 25th is for us to see whether there are any major gaps in your work.
- You may continue to work up your projects for the 8 August submission.
- The August submission (PM1) counts for 20% of the year mark. Not 50% as we initially announced.
- This means that the hub project may be looked at again in Nov, together with the MIP, to arrive at the 80% weighted mark (PM2).
For ATR and PSS
- Same 20%/80% principle as above.
Good luck!
