I understand that a recent meeting of the NPAS Strategic Board arrived at a decision to cancel Lot 2 of the replacement aircraft programme - the Met Police element of the tender process.
I am awaiting a statement from NPAS as there is nothing 'out there' that I have found to confirm that yet.
If you recall NPAS tried to delete this part of the tender before but ended up wasting money on barristers not planes before losing the case.
I assume that this meeting was the one held in June. There is no longer an indication of when the meetings are held or are expected to be held on the NPAS website. Despite assurances in the past to government bodies and the National Audit Office the NPAS website still does not provide access to its meetings despite a proven need and duty. So everything is about second guessing them.
