I've just received this extra info from the client, which may help in answering some of the questions the candidates will have:

Location: Consultants will be based in Baghdad (likely to be in the relative safety of a site at Baghdad airport). Consultants will spend almost all their time at the airbase, and will not be required to go to Baghdad proper. They may from time to time be required to travel (by air) to client premises in Sulaimaniya (very safe), but this will be rare. Most communication with the client HQ will be by phone and email.

Duration: Min 6 month assignment with an option of an additional 6 months.

Working Days: Under normal circumstances, 5 day working week will apply. However there may be instances where the consultant will be requested to work an additional day. Consultants will be paid according to authorised days worked.

Ramadan: Under normal circumstances, the Consultants will not be required to work during National holidays, and so will be given unpaid leave. However, if for any reason there is a requirement to work on a National holiday then the Consultant will be expected to report for duty (and will be paid according to the agreed rate).
