Some finer points in mind ware political thinking while tendering for government contracts.
1.The amount of Money was never a problem, look at Vic Police Airwing Tenders over the last 10 years. Many good company's much cheaper, but LLoyds (chc) still prevail, how many years did it take to provide newer aircraft for the airwing. Must have been clauses in the contracts i didnot see
2. Who are the experts who provide the unbiased views that determine the ultimate contract winner. A fair and level playing field??
Comiserations to the losers, congratulations to the new pilots and crew of chc, step up to the plate and provide the best service possible to the state of nsw and when money is no option, there should be no shortcuts taken, and 100% availability 24 / seven
