Oooh, I know that one.
We wanted to replace approx 200 lamps as part of a project to modernise. BAe agreed to fund it as a green experiment and after getting quotes from 3 suppliers the cost came in at about £2000.
The muti-national company who had the station maintenance contract objected - saying they had the contractual right to undertake the task and then quoted £15k to do it.
