Forgive my naivety, and my wish to draw conclusions based on the wisdom of the other forum members, but I don't have much knowledge on UK SAR.
Is there a clear "favourite" to win the contract? I understand BHL have been running the UK SAR contract recently, and I believe have been doing a good job of it? Is there any reason why they wouldn't / shouldn't win the contract again this time around?
But then again, I believe EEA / CHC also run SAR in Ireland, so it's not as if they have no experience in the matter.
Any info and thoughts appreciated!
