I think the bigger more specific point here is not whether the Contractor issued a programme at tender, but whether they referenced that said programme in contract data part 2. If they have, then by default that is the first Accepted Programme.
If they have not referenced it then not sure what contractual part it plays and certainly no point it would ever be deemed accepted?
Programme intervals would then be from the contract date (not access date).
