Sophie,
Re my request for a purchase order for the Linklaters work can you raise £150,000 (excl VAT). This has a small
margin on the estimate below as the scoping is very rough.
Thanks

Our WIP up to yesterday was approximately £79,000 (excl. VAT). On the assumption that for the stage 2 work
primarily we will (or have):
- prepared the short document on the Horizon report;
- attend four or five substantial telephone calls and two or three face to face meetings with the Post Office; and
- prepare a report setting out future options and their viability which is shorter and requires less preparatory work than
our first report (including because it is to some extent based on work and thinking already done),
we estimate our fees for stage 2 will be approximately £45,000 (excl. VAT). As discussed, the work we will actually
do for stage 2 is an iterative process, so naturally we hope you appreciate that this is no more than a preliminary “best
guess’ at this stage. We would have to revise the figure to the extent the assumptions above are no longer valid or
the scope of work we do changes.
Kind regards
Jonathan

Jonathan,
Can you let me know the amount the invoice is going to be for and a rough estimate for the next bits of work (ie the
piece we discussed on the phone and the options development) and I will sort out the Purchase Order number. We
will need to do an ESRF with you next week too when our legal admin is back from leave.
Thanks

We have set up a new matter for the work Christa and I have been doing on the mediation scheme. Do you have a
Post Office matter number for this to allow us to bill it? Apologies if you are not the right person to contact for this.
Many thanks
