DWWP : Advance Notification of upcoming Blockades & Possessions
To help the supply chain understand and profile likely resource demands within the Region , we have agreed to provide an overview of anticipated future blockades and possessions for the region. This information is contained within the Delivering Work Within Possessions (DWWP) document and includes details of forthcoming worksites with project title, locations & dates, which may then result in future procurement activity. This document is updated periodically and can be accessed here using this link: DWWP NW&C.
