It's just that modular contracting is the idea that you should break large projects into smaller ones. Often, especially in the public service, procurement folks will hear this and immediately think, “It's contract splitting. This is illegal.” Really, contract splitting by definition means breaking things into smaller pieces with the intention of getting just under regulatory or disclosure thresholds or contracting thresholds. Modular contracting or unbundling contracts means breaking it into smaller pieces so that it's more likely to succeed. The intention is different, and by definition, it's not contract splitting, which I think is something people often miss.
