Dear Defence Equipment and Support,

I be grateful if you could release the following -

The salary benchmarks for Level 2 Project Managers and Level 2 Project Controls (specifically Scheduling and Risk Management).

I would also like to know;
- what companies were used as part of the benchmarking exercise,
- I would like you to confirm whether or not MOD Main and other equivalent civil service departments were used as part of the benchmarking exercise,
- was the exercise restricted to UK based companies or did it include companies in the USA and elsewhere and,
- did it take into account the average salary that could be commanded by a contractor with a similar level of expertise that would be expected of a Level 2.

Yours faithfully,

Magnus Ponsonby-Talbot
