None.
The purpose of CONDO is to provide an alternative means of delivering capability by using contractors within operational areas to support and augment the capability of the Armed Forces as part of the civilian component of a deployed military force.
CONDO does not apply to established United Kingdom (UK) or overseas garrisons, such as those in Germany, Cyprus and the Falkland Islands. Nor is it normally applied in non-benign environments although this may occur exceptionally if no military capability exists.
Responsibility for CONDO policy rests with Assistant Chief of the Defence Staff (Logistics Operations) (ACDS (Log Ops), Director of Defence Logistics Policy (D Def Log Pol).
Permanent Joint Headquarters (PJHQ) operate a long term, tri-service Contractor Logistic (CONLOG) enabling contract established with a prime contractor for a broad range of deployed contractor support. Acquisition teams may wish to utilise this contract, where appropriate.
Acquisition teams placing contracts outwith CONLOG that include an actual or potential requirement for CONDO deployment should utilise DEFCON 697 (Contractors of Deployed Operations) [63KB PDF] and Defence Standard (Def Stan) 05-129
