The comment about Harfield changing his LinkedIn profile, is truly fascinating...  

Executive General Manager, Future Service Delivery


Airservices Australia
July 2013 – August 2015 (2 years 2 months)

In this senior executive role I had the accountability for the delivery of Airservices’ next generation services and harmonised Australian Air Traffic Management system with the Department of Defence.

As a key member of the Airservices Executive Team, I am enabling the delivery of a world leading harmonised national Air Traffic Management system to ensure, through a holistic transformation program, Australian aviation remains at the forefront of technologically advanced air traffic management services.

This role also has the responsibility of the Senior Responsible Owner (SRO) for the purposes of managing the portfolio and program complexity associated with delivery of the new Air Traffic Management system, and the associated benefits and services.

Couple that with the attempted obfuscation of his responsibilities to the FOI Act...

On FOI requests & word weasel confections -  

...gives you an idea of how truly deluded and narcissistic this joker is...

Oh well, least we know where to pin the tail on the OneSKY GWE (Great White Elephant)...

Audit airs fears over air traffic tender


An audit of the tender process for delivering a joint civil and military air traffic control system to the Department of Defence and Airservices Australia has raised concerns with the Auditor-General questioning the final tender’s value for money and its timeframe.

In his report Conduct of the OneSKY Tender, Auditor-General Grant Hehir found that the lowest tender was not successful and the one that was could prove too expensive for Defence and Airservices to pay for.

“The objective of the audit was to assess whether the OneSKY tender was conducted so as to provide value with public resources and achieve required timeframes for the effective replacement of the existing air traffic management platforms,” Mr Hehir said.

“It is not clearly evident that the successful tender offered the best value for money.”

Value for money questioned

He found that the design of the OneSKY tender process was capable of producing a value for money outcome however the successful tenderer had submitted “significantly higher acquisition and support prices than the other tenderers” but that adjustments made by the Tender Evaluation Committee “suggested that the successful tenderer offered the lowest cost solution.”

“The successful tenderer was assessed as significantly stronger in terms of technical capability as well as involving much lower schedule risk,” he said.

Mr Hehir said it was not clear whether the final tender provided value for money “because adjustments made to tendered prices when evaluating tenders against the cost criterion were not conducted in a robust and transparent manner”.

He also expressed concern at the timeliness of the process.

“There have also been significant delays with the conduct of the OneSKY tender process,” he said.

“Contracts are unlikely to be signed prior to mid-2017, at least 40 months after tender evaluation commenced.”

Mr Hehir also reported that it was not clearly evident that the “successful tender was affordable in the context of the funding available to Airservices and Defence.”
